The Topps Gold factory set contained an additional autographed card of Brien Taylor, the first overall pick in the 1991 MLB Draft.  The Taylor AU is numbered as an extension of the base set (#793), but it is not considered part of it.  This was the first time Topps commissioned an athlete to autograph cards for insertion into one of their products.
All 12,000 Topps Gold factory sets contained a bonus autographed card of Brien Taylor -- the first overall pick in the 1991 MLB Draft.  The Taylor AU is sequentially-numbered as an extension of the base set (#793), but it is not considered part of it, and it is not considered a "true" rookie card since Taylor was already in the 1992 Topps base set (card #6).
 
Taylor became the second player picked first overall in the draft to retire without ever playing in a Major League gameHis Topps Gold autograph has become an odd historical footnote as it was the first time Topps commissioned an athlete to autograph cards for insertion into one of their products.

1992 Pre-Production Sheet

The 1992 Topps Pre-Production sheet measures approximately 7 3/4" by 10 3/4" and features nine player cards. The sheet is not perforated and if cut, the cards would measure the standard size. The cards are numbered on the back with "1992 Pre-Production Sample" prominent. Unlike the base set and gold sheets, these are missing the name and team block on the the front of each card. 7500 sheets were produced.

The 1992 Topps Pre-Production Gold sheets measure approximately 7 3/4" by 10 3/4" and features nine player cards. The sheet is not perforated and if cut, the cards would measure the standard size. The cards are numbered on the back with "1992 Pre-Production Sample" prominent. 7500 gold sheets were produced. An unknown quantity of gold sheets were printed, most likely by mistake, without the gold foil.

Parallels

O-Pee-Chee

The 1992 O-Pee-Chee baseball set was produced for the Canadian market and for the third consecutive year it was a full 792-card parallel of the Topps base set. This would be the final year of O-Pee-Chee's partnership with Topps as they would produce their own set (with its own unique design) the following year.

For the first time since 1989, the fronts of each card have the O-Pee-Chee logo (as opposed to Topps). As usual, the reverse side is printed in French and English.

O-Pee-Chee decided to replace the All-Star subset (cards #386-#407) with 22 cards exclusive to the OPC set. Among these are four cards in a five-card Gary Carter Tribute subset, that was also not available in Topps. (Card #45, which is Carter's regular player card in the Topps set, is the first card in the OPC Carter Tribute subset.)

Gold

The first, true, parallel set, 1992 Topps Gold cards were randomly inserted into all 1992 Topps pack types. The front of each card has the player's name and team stamped on gold foli, while the Topps Gold logo watermarked on the reverse side. Wax, cello, and rack boxes yielded one Topps Gold card per box while 500-card vending boxes came with five Gold cards and every factory set had ten. In addition, Topps produced 12,000 1992 Topps Gold factory sets -- presumably as a replacement for the discontinued Tiffany sets.

There were a number of uncorrected errors in the Gold set. Mark Davidson's name was accidently foil-stamped onto Steve Finley's card (#86). Andujar Cedeno (#288) is listed as a member of the New York Yankees. Mike Huff (#532) is listed as a member of the Boston Red Sox. Barry Larkin (#465) is listed as a member of the Houston Astros but is correctly listed as a member of the Cincinnati Reds on his Gold Winners cards. (See below)

The six checklist cards were replaced with six players who do not appear in the base set.

  • 131 Terry Mathews
  • 264 Rod Beck
  • 366 Tony Perezchica
  • 527 Terry McDaniel
  • 658 John Ramos
  • 787 Brian Williams

Gold Winners

Each pack of 1992 Topps Baseball featured a "Match-the-Stats" game card. For every 100 "Runs" saved in this game (and $2 postage and handling), collector's could receive a pack of ten Topps Gold cards. Unfortunately, the game was compromised. (By placing the Match-the-Stats card on top of a flashlight, collector's could see the correct answers). In order to protect the integrity of the game and the pack-inserted Gold cards, Topps printed the word "Winner" in gold foil on the card front.

The Gold Winner promotion was very popular and the cards are in noticeably larger supply than the basic Gold parallels.

Brien Taylor Gold Autograph

Brien-Taylor.jpg?id=35d03c7b-6f03-430a-8ffb-2d2d34c8d18e&size=original&side=front&.jpg Brien-Taylor.jpg?id=35d03c7b-6f03-430a-8ffb-2d2d34c8d18e&size=original&side=back&.jpg

All 12,000 Topps Gold factory sets contained a bonus autographed card of Brien Taylor -- the first overall pick in the 1991 MLB Draft. The Taylor AU is sequentially-numbered as an extension of the base set (#793), but it is not considered part of it, and it is not considered a "true" rookie card since Taylor was already in the 1992 Topps base set (card #6).

Taylor became the second player picked first overall in the draft to retire without ever playing in a Major League game. His Topps Gold autograph has become an odd historical footnote as it was the first time Topps commissioned an athlete to autograph cards for insertion into one of their products.

This 804 card parallel set was issued in factory set form only. The set is an exact replica of the regular issue 1992 Topps set (not including the Traded set).The cards, however, measure considerably smaller (1" X 1 3/8") than the regular cards. The set also includes 12 special gold foil parallel mini cards which are listed below.

Inserts

1993 Topps Pre-Production

Randomly inserted into late-season factory sets is a nine-card set promoting the 1993 Topps set.

O-Pee-Chee Box Bottoms

Printed on the bottom of each O-Pee-Chee wax box is a team photo of the four 1991 playoff teams. Unlike traditional "box bottom" cards of the era, each photo is oversized (5" X 7"). The backs carry the team's season highlights in both English and French in blue lettering.
