Give it a shot.

Last year I got 2 different orange grape tomatoes from 2 stores and saved the seeds. I expected they were F-1 varieties and were something exclusive to some of these big corporate farm/greenhouse growers. At the time I couldn't find any ORANGE grape varieties in any catalogs. There are some now but many aren't as ORANGE as these 2 are. More yellow-gold.

Both have grown out quite well and I didn't see the horid variation as when growing out Sun Sugar. Both also tasted better when I grew them than what I got in the store, DUH !! Not quite as good / sweet fruity as Sun Gold / Sun Sugar but closer than most of the grow-out of those others.

I'll add a pack of one to your order. I have the Indian Stripe in a germination test right now so should be able to get the order out early next week.
