Is this a steal of one of the poorest quality sets ever made?

If it sells, yes. I keep seeing a lot of 4-5 cards (Garvey it in, I think Griffey and Thomas too) and seller is asking $10K. It's probably a $10-15 lot at best. Just because they are asking it, doesn't mean it is worth it.

I kind of like those with the dog image on it. Same set or different, but similar set?

Different year, 1983 and 1984

Topps should do a set called "Bootlegs" and copy some of the designs of unlicensed sets from the past. It is about the only retro gimmick they haven't used, and it's not like anyone would be able to attack them for stealing designs.
So I had a designer recreate this set and I was reading back through this set and DaClyde suggested doing exactly this six years ago. I’ve had collectors requesting their player so it has grown to eight series. The first four are complete. Here are scans of the first two series. I’ll try and post the other two.

Watch, some J.O. is going to try to sue you now for stealing "their" intellectual property. I hope you didn't sneak Garvey into that thing.

Hey, at least we would finally find out who made these!

Now you need to slip in some dog variations. Put a poodle on one of the player's card.
