I thought I should add some additional info to this thread to make it more of a reference.
I spoke with Robert Klevens of Prestige Collectibles who also spoke with Gary Engle (thanks for your help Robert!). Gary's checklist for this set is below. Robert mentioned that he doesn't know of more than 1 or 2 of each card. My copy of the team card is also the first they have seen with a number on the front.
PSA doesn't list signature/no signature/variations and has graded one each of Cochrane, Cunningham, French, Frisch, Grove, Kammn, Kelly, Maranville, O'Doul, Ruel, Simmons. SGC doesn't seem to have graded any.
