Oversized Parallels
Topps produced two oversized parallels, and sold them exclusively on topps.com: 5X7 Factory Set and 10X14 Posters. There are three sets in each format: The 56-card base set, the 15-card 1992 Bowman, and the 15-card Bashers inserts.
As with other similar topps.com exclusive oversized sets, only 49 serial-numbered 5X7 Factory Sets and ten Gold 5X7 Factory Sets for each set were produced. The base set cost $114.99 while the Gold set cost $224.99. Both the 1992 Bowman and Bashers sets were $29.99 (standard) and $59.99 (Gold).
The same sets were also reproduced in a 10X14 Poster format. Unlike the 5X7 Factory Sets, each card's poster was sold individually at $24.99 for a standard poster (limited to 99 posters) and a one-of-one Gold poster for $99.99.
