Love this thread. Sooner or later, I'll dig through some of my cards for Alan Trammell and Jack Morris cameos. As to the Blauser card above, since Blauser is turning a double-play with the photo taken from what looks like somewhere on the infield on the 1st base side I don't think it's Maddux. Also, the white around the glove could be a batting glove or tape, either or which wouldn't be allowed for a pitcher. My guess is Mark Lemke.

Vernon Wells was the artist who did the art work for the early Upper Deck products. His son, Vernon Wells, went on to play pro baseball. He confirmed that he drew himself and his son in the lower right corner of this 1992 UD card. So, it's a pre-draft cameo?

That's pretty cool knowledge right there!

Digging deep through Check Out My Cards, found some new Grace cameos. The 93 Score was a good one.

I thought I had posted this before, maybe it was another thread. Anyway, here's one of my favorites, Warren Morris vs. Frank Thomas

You probably know these, but I have them in hand and noticed them:

I picked up a few a couple months back, but haven't gotten them uploaded to my site yet because of the move. But here's a shot thanks to comc of the card I got. There's Bagwell, I believe 8th on the right. You can see his 5 on his jersey. :)

Definitely a Bagwell item, but I think that falls under the multi-player card rather than a cameo, according to the guidelines established by the ICIA (International Cameo Identification Association).
