The card's foil is very much silver, not a transitional or champagne color, I am definitely familiar with those. 1992 Leaf Blackgold are often found that way too.

There are 1992 Topps Gold Winners sealed packs out there with silver versions showing and inside the pack as well (I've opened both).

It has been suggested that the silver foil is the back side of the gold foil sheet. Essentially a reversed foiling application.

I have not seen the pre-productions, that is new to me. I've seen several Winners and a few Traded players many years ago. This is the first regular card player Ive seen this way.
