If I can find them for $4 delivered then I will usually buy them. There have been some listed for more money that I don't have that I have passed on.

I recently bought a collection of complete and incomplete Minor League Yankees sets. I bought it knowing most of the major stars would be missing. It was over 700 cards. Of course the 1981 Nashville Sounds Arby’s set was picked through but it did contain the Team Card which shows a nice cameo of some well-known players and coaches:
Check out the young pictures of:
Don Mattingly
Willie McGee
Otis Nixon
Buck Showalter
Mike Morgan

So decided to look thru 1993-1998 Upper Deck and UD Collector's Choice card backs because they are ripe with cameos. Took about 2 hrs. to flip thru just the Chicago Cubs, but glad I did. Found a new Grace that's actually a decent face pic, a blurry Grace, and one other...
The good one:
The blurry one:
And I'm not sure if I want to go here, but does a piece of equipment of your player (batting helmet here) count as cameo?

i dont even think i'd go so far as to include equipment...
You of all people I would have guessed would have already had an equipment cameo collection

I always wondered whose equipment was on the 1996 Leaf checklists...

I know, right? I never bothered looking. I had a hard enough time validating blurry background shots and examining feet than to do the equipment...

Man, I've looked a long time to find my first Don Zimmer cameo card. I originally thought it wouldn't be too hard, that I'd find him on a Joe Torre card or on a Yankees or Red Sox player's card in the background. But no luck. For someone who was in the game for so long, couldn't believe I couldn't find at least one of Zim.
Today I found my first Zim cameo. And with a team he only coached 3rd base for one season. Nice cameo shot though.
Sweet Bonus! **** 'stache Ryne Sandberg on other side.

Thanks for the list, you actually saved me some time. I knew about the back variations from collecting Grace's stickers, but hadn't looked for the others yet except for the Fernando I saw on COMC. I'll track down the others.

Ok, Tony Gwynn collectors, ready for a weird one?
The 1989 Upper Deck card of Mark Grant features Tony Gwynn's glove! Don't believe me? Check out this interview with Grant.
