Barry Larkin Collection 892: 1992 Topps - #465 - Topps Gold Winner

Barry Larkin
Year:  1992
Brand:  Topps
Card number:  465
Parallel:  Gold Winner

The 1992 Topps Gold set paralleled the regular 1992 Topps set except for one glaring mistake...On the Topps Gold cards, Barry Larkin was listed as playing for the Astros rather than the Reds.  I have no idea how Topps let that one slide but there you have it.

As for this particular card, it's one of the Topps Gold Winner cards - Topps ran a contest that was eventually compromised by collectors and in response Topps slapped "winner" on each of the Topps Gold card prizes it mailed out.  From what I can tell, the "winner" cards seem to be way more plentiful than the regular Topps Gold cards!
