The response from the Topps representative was that it was a packaging error and he recommended all owners of an unnumbered HRR Red Label to mail it back to Topps (so it could be destroyed) and they would mail something back in compensation and as a thank you.
The numbered HRR /61s were still packed out as well.

Wow, great memory! I'll have to dig up that article sometime, I wonder what they exchanged them out for and how many of the non-serialed ones made it into packs.

That's a really nice card! Those fractals would be a fun/stressful set to try and put together with all of the variants.
