All but two of the images (Vizcaino, Wynne) are in the 1990 Topps base set, while Viz is in the traded. Wynn'e image was probably bumped from being published due to his trade.

Hiding in plain sight - the only color image I'm aware of of Jim Beswick in the 1978 version of the Padres' uniform was lurking in their 1979 yearbook all along....

Very nice, thanks. Give a shout if you see Steve Fireovid lurking anywhere in those Padre yearbooks.

Merkel has repeatedly told us that Topps could easily, at the rate of 50 or images a week, continue to issue Vault content into the 22nd century or so. Reportedly, there are more than a million images that we've been given a big, rolling tease about with the Vault output so far.

The only perspective of this is to understanding that this has been a virtual drop in the bucket of their archive. Many were sold without ever seeing the light of day, beginning with the Guersey's auction in, what was it? 1989?

To provide some perspective on the Vault release project, here is the best info we have on the issued folders. In addition to the Vault release, we came upon some tremendous up grades that have been incorporated (that number is parsed.

Why do I have the impression that if we ever went into that vault, we may never get out?

465-466 Darrell Osteen
467-468 Phil Ortega
469-472 Jorge Orta
473-475 Joe Orsulak
475-476 John Orsino
477-480 Steve R. Ontiveros (former OFer)
481-482 Brian Ostrosser
483-484 Tony LaRussa (Thanks keonleafs)
485-486 Junior Ortiz

In doing my research to ID some of these guys, I found out that the late John Orsino (he passed away this past November) served as the *golf* coach at one of my alma maters, Florida Atlantic U. Guess these releases ARE educational in a way
