Randomly inserted into packs was a redemption card good for the 21st and final card in the set, an etched foil card of Indians catcher Sandy Alomar, Jr. In order to claim their Alomar card, collectors had to venture out to one of the participating Northeast Ohio-area Hobby shops located on the reverse side of the redemption.
