Barry Larkin Collection 952: 1993 Topps - Black Gold Winner's Redemption A

Barry Larkin

Year:  1993

Brand:  Topps

Card number:  none

Insert set:  Black Gold Winner's Redemption A

A few days ago, I showed off the Redemption AB winner card.  Today, we have the slightly-more-common Redemption A winner card.  People who claimed the AB winner card would get 22 cards (the full National League portion of the set) as their prize while the A winner card only awarded nine cards (a subset of National League Black Gold cards out of the 22 total NL cards).  

Overall, while these cards aren't the most exciting card to show off in 2023 seeing as the set is 30 years old, I do think the concept is kind of cool.  I'd much prefer to pull something like this in a modern pack of cards as opposed to my promised "hit" being a redemption.  At least with a general insert set, you can have a lot more faith that the card company would actually fulfill the redemption within a reasonable amount of time!
