Did Topps only add the "Winner" thing AFTER they realized the issue? In other words, did the first people to send in 100 runs received packs of regular Gold cards?

Thanks!

All of the redemption cards were for Winners AFAIK. And since you could use a flashlight and see the winning values, Topps had to produce way more than they expected just based on odds.

I've been told a few times over when posting about these that Topps initially sent out sealed prize packs containing regular gold cards but switched early on when the glut of winning game cards started to overwhelm them.

Also, I have found several sealed 10-card cello packs of non-winner gold cards over the year so it seems that they were not too rare.
