Can anyone varify if there is a gold version of both of the Russ Swan cards? It looks like the card I have is the double printed variation but I want to be sure incase I HAVE TO have both cards in my nearly complete Topps Gold set for the Master Set. Hal

Hal...I believe the corrected version of this base card was only available in factory sets and the double printed version were what was packed out. Were the gold cards available in factory sets in 1993? It's been a while, but if I recall the gold cards were available as inserts in the packs. That would lead me to believe that you are only going to find the double printed version.

Always looking for baseball variation/error cards and anything Garrett Whitley or Ian Anderson

Posting to confirm that, yes, both variations exist on the gold Swann.
