Nothing else was in the pack - so was the pack itself the limited item?
Any help would be appreciated.

I think the fact that you got 1 gold per pack was a very big deal at the time. Pulling 1 per box was rough for such a huge set. Gold Winners' value was dropping with all the cheating going on the Match The Stats game cards. Of course, these packs would only be a big deal if the release of them preceded the news of Topps Gold factory sets.
Its also my understanding that the dark back game cards are found in these, which suggests this was a later release.
