Topps Gold

Topps Gold is a full 825-card parallel of the base set. Gold cards were inserted one per wax pack, three per rack pack, five per jumbo pack, and ten per factory set. The cards are identical to the regular-issue 1993 Topps baseball cards except that the gold-foil Topps Gold logo appears in an upper corner, and the team color-coded stripe at the bottom of the front, which carried the player's name, has been replaced with an embossed gold-foil stripe. The checklist cards (394-396, 823-825) have been replaced by player cards.

In addition, each case of vending boxes contained two 500-card boxes full of Gold cards.

Rockies/Marlins Factory Sets

To commemorate the debut seasons of the Colorado Rockies and Florida Marlins, Topps produced special factory sets. A Gold foil Marlins or Rockies logos distinguish these from regular issue cards. These cards were only issued in factory set form.

5000 Rockies sets and 4000 Marlins sets were initially printed, but each team had the option of receiving a maximum of 10,000 sets. The Rockies sets were distributed through the four team-owned stores and at Mile High Stadium. The Marlins sets were distributed through FMI and Joe Robbie Stadium.

Topps Micro

Topps Micro is a 837-card set with the regular 825 card as well as a special 12 card prism insert set. The cards measure 1" by 1 3/8" which is approximately 40 percent of the regular card size. Only the Prism inserts are listed below. This was the final year Topps issued the Micro factory set.

Inserts

Black Gold

Topps Black Gold is a 44-card insert set. Cards 1-22 were randomly inserted in Series One packs while card numbers 23-44 were featured in Series Two packs. They were also inserted three per factory set. In the packs, the cards were inserted one every 72 hobby or retail packs; one every 12 jumbo packs and one every 24 rack packs.

Hobbyists could obtain the set by collecting individual random insert cards or receive 11, 22, or 44 Black Gold cards by mail when they sent in special "You've Just Won" cards, which were randomly inserted in packs. Series One packs featured three different "You've Just Won" cards, entitling the holder to receive Group A (cards 1-11), Group B (cards 12-22), or Groups A and B (Cards 1-22). In a similar fashion, four "You've Just Won" cards were inserted in Series Two packs and entitled the holder to receive Group C (23-33), Group D (34-44), Groups C and D (23-44), or Groups A-D (1-44). By returning the "You've Just Won" card with 1.50 for postage and handling, the collector received not only the Black Gold cards won but also a special "You've Just Won" card and a congratulatory letter informing the collector that his/her name has been entered into a drawing for one of 500 uncut sheets of all 44 Topps Black Gold cards in a leatherette frame.

The first 22 cards are National Leaguers while the second 22 cards are American Leaguers. Winner cards C and D were both originally produced erroneously and later corrected; the error versions show the players from Winner A and B on the respective fronts of Winner cards C and D. There is no value difference in the variations at this time. The winner cards were redeemable until January 31, 1994.
