This sheet of nine sports-related dinosaur cards was inserted in the January 1992 edition of the Tuff Stuff Jr. collector magazine.  
 
Also, in July 2025, a sheet of these cards enclosed in a poly bag was posted on a major auction website.  From the printing on the bag, it appears as if some company repackaged these as "out of print collectible items".  The image (shown below) was not clear enough to determine if the sheet has a perforated edge as would be the case if removed from the Tuff Stuff Jr. magazine.  I've seen this type of packaging before with sports cards so I'm guessing it's probably legit.
