Yep, it is an "eye of the beholder" thing. Always only worth what someone will pay. Picked up a near complete set of these about a year ago from the guy who was collecting them. Pretty rare cards. Not sure of the print run that survived (these were included in select SCD magazines during a month in 1996 - a precursor to Donruss Beckett Samples). Of the 18 cards I orig picked up I have so far sold 3: Jeter ($85), Piazza ($30), Larkin ($22). I have a second Jeter up now, my bet is it sells in the next couple of tries based on the interest to date. I already have the Griffey but at this price no way would I pass it up. I had mine marked at 10x this one. Probably only 100 or so of each that are out there that are actually in the secondary market (vs thrown away, destroyed), best guess. Some like the Puckett have never surfaced so unsure if all cards have a sample version. Clarkfan probably knows more about this set - I took my pricing cues from his prior auction sales.
