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.

If it were just the gold foil flipped over you wouldn't be able to see through it.

Yeah I really have no idea, it does appear that the foiling consistency was weak here. I have seen partially foiled winners but they were missing portions/chunks, not transparent liek this.

No matter what caused it, the near total consistency of the silver foil probably points to it coming out of the print shop in this condition and most likely not supposed to be in the marketplace. Neat piece.
