I would love a Clemens and a Lee Smith.
Anyone know the print run?

I've heard 30-100.

That's lower than I thought. Thanks. 8-)

I'd gather there being about 50-60 per player based on rough dealer numbers (that had Pinnacle accounts) at the time. 100 card set.

I've only ever seen about 15 Will Clarks and about a dozen Eddie Murray.

I've got the Kevin Seitzer... somewhere. I got in back in 1996 - can't remember if I had to send away for it, or if it was sent to the shop where I was working at the time and I just snagged it. Anyone recall exactly how they were distributed? I vaguely remember the letter that Magicpapa posted....

The Ozzie Smith was up but the seller ended it early :(

he probably sold it off ebay along with the Frank Thomas he had listed that also ended early.

A guy was selling about 10-15 of these on eBay at auction about a month or two ago with terrible titles. I picked up the Randy Johnson for around $10.

have never seen the Canseco but on Beckett there is a guy that lists having two of them available for sale or trade in his collection.. I have sent emails about them to the guy with no response as I would gladly pick them up. Most likely its an old collection they transferred over with a non active member. if it were to pan out though I'd be happy to take this off my list for sure!

Stirring up a thread that's a little cold...

I've got the First Pitch Preview #14 (Andres Galarraga) and would trade it plus a mountain of other stuff to get #98 (Omar Vizquel). Well, either a mountain or a stack of cash! Anyone have it? If nothing else, I'd love to even see a scan!
