Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, but was pretty into collecting as a kid with my dad. Over the past few months I've pulled my collection out of storage to try and sort through and make sense of what I have. I grew up in Cleveland so the bulk of my cards are Indians players from the 90's, primarily Omar Vizquel. I've come across a couple that I cant seem to find listed anywhere, and if my 10 yr old memory serves correct, I remember my dad paying big bucks for a couple of them so I'm thinking they may be somewhat limited. I've read all about the crazy prices some Vizquel cards are going for so I'll just say now, I'm not really interested in selling (unless I can get enough for, lets say, a yacht!! haha) I'm more interested in just identifying and getting some info about what I have.
I've come across 10 cards made by "Line Up" dated 98-99 that appear to be a beer advertisement for the dominican beer Maltin Polar. The ones I have all feauture Omar Vizquel, but also show Andres Galarraga, Luis Sojo, and Edgardo Alfonzo on some of them. Several of them have the same pictures on one side, and different photos on the reverse but none seem to have any sort of numbering or way to indentify them other than by the pictures themselves. I can take pictures of each of them individually if anyone is interested/knowledgeable about them. I found one listed on ebay, but there is no picture of the reverse side so I'm unsure if this is one I have or a different variation.

I have attached 2 pictures of the 4 cards I have that show this picture, and then flipped over with the variations. All cards are in the same order for both pictures.
The other Card I'm having trouble identifying is a 1999 Pacific Aurora. It has a stamp on the front side that says "Sports Images Grand Opening 1999" under the Pacific crown logo. It is numbered with what appears to be a sharpie, "9/10" on the front side. I can say with confidence that neither myself or my dad did that, and it's been tucked away in a closet for 12+ years. I have attached a picture of that as well.
Any information, or if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!!
