Promos

3-card packs of promo cards were distributed in black cardboard holders that featured a 1992 copyright line on the back to dealers to preview the set. These cards were almost identical to the regular base cards, but had subtle differences on the back - specifically, the outline of the gray Triple Play logo was fuzzy and thick (instead of sharp and thin on the regular base cards) and reflected light. Further, the red ink used on the text was lighter and the gray ink was darker on these preview cards.
