1993 Topps Information Sought...
 

While researching packaging variations for 1993 Topps, I came across two odd ball items for which I am in search of information.

First is an 18-card pack/24-pack box of series 1 cards, but all wrappings are in red - all other packaging types feature blue wrappers and boxes for series 1, with red for series 2. Anyone have any idea if there was a series 2 version of this unusual packaging or why series 1 is in red?

Also, I found a box called "Topps Collection" which contains 360 regular random cards from the entire 825-card set, along with 36 gold and 4 black gold. Does anyone recall these? Were these retail or hobby products?

Thanks!

I'd guess that the 360 card container was likely a secondary market re-package for Wal-Mart. They had a lot of that going on during that time period.

New 1993 Topps page is up....as always PLEASE let me know of any errors, omissions, typos, etc. If you have any information or images that can help plug any gaps, please let me know. Thanks!
