After reading and researching the set differences, I am sure that the cards I have are from Topps Collections. However, my father (whom has been collecting for far longer than I have, and whom I call if I have any questions) is sure that I don't have the Collection, but just the normal Topps.
The cards have silver font, not gold. That's why I am sure that I have 2004 Topps Collection.

The only way that I can be sure, since I haven't come accross any with gold text, is to ask you fine ladies and gentlemen to post pictures, if you do not mind, of your 2004 Topps and 2004 Topps Collection, so that I may compare.

Thanks in advance. I'll give those whoever help me a bonus card if we ever happen to cross paths while trading.

Sorry, I have no clue, good luck!

When Topps puts cards out there that look so much alike that there's even a question, it's a terrible problem.

Wish I could help. I collected a LOT of cards in 2004, but mainly Topps Total, Score, and Bowman's Best. I'm not really familiar with the regular Topps issue from that year.

I'm not sure if this is specifically helpful, but I am pretty sure the Topps Collection variant was simply for cards from the full factory set, not individual packs/boxes/cases. I was only able to find one card on eBay specifically labeled as a factory set card from 2004, but the font does appear to be silver:

The 2004 Topps base set has SILVER foil. The 2004 Topps Collection set has GOLD foil, and was available as a factory set. I hope this helps.

It does. Thank you

I believe the basic version of 2004 Topps uses silver foil on the front, while the Collection version has gold foil.
