Nothing special, it was just more junk wax advertising to make the addition of a gold card seem like a great item. At least they are better than base.
Dylan might have more to add. I think these were later packs after the huge failure of the Topps gold winners from the scratch off game. The market flooded with gold “winner” cards as the game was beatable by simply using a flashlight and every one was a winner. The redemptions were printed like wildfire as it was impossible to lose.
The plain gold cards were more in demand as they still were overprinted by the standard of today but not of 92.The chance of getting a plain gold was a draw to buyers as they were distributed in the set form.
