Thanks
Thanks guys.......after talking to him a bit more I found out that Topps took a picture of him at Johnson City and he signed a contract for a whopping $5 with them. He wasn't absolutely positive that they (Topps) ever produced that third card.
Interestingly enough he said he never cashed that check from Topps because he thought that it was neater seeing his name on that check than having the $5. Thanks again for your help. Chad

I think Topps just signed minor leaguers like that to get them under contract "just in case" they made it to the majors. They never produced any minor league sets until the 2000s. Sadly, that probably means there are hundreds, if not thousands of minor league photos in Topps vault that never saw the light of day. After looking at his record on Baseball Reference, now I'm curious. What happened to him in 1988 that he didn't play? Injury?
