The adolescent picked up this set for $5 plus shipping / handling to see if I could actually get the Keith Comstock card in-hand - I would feel bad for Comstock if the image was anything but staged, but I think the photographer and Comstock probably had a good time goofing around.
There maybe a number of rank-and-file players from this set who had already bounced back and forth from the majors to the minors as this was AAA set as opposed to a set consisting of youngsters from the low minors - though their cards in this set were not their first professional cards, the notable players in the set are Sandy Alomar Jr., Joey Cora and Carlos Baerga.

Considering I've picked up 3 cards this year of Grant Clitsome, and I'm not building any of the sets in which he has cards, I sympathize with your inner adolescent.
You got a deal. One of my favorite baseball cards ever made. Ever.
And let me know if you ever want to trade that Cora....
Are the rest of the cards up for trade? I have the Comstock but need most of the rest of the set, which is the only one I need for all the AAA teams that year.
