There in the second row, is the 37th and final known card of Bernardo Brito I needed to bring this journey to an end. As noted in the 2003 SCD Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards:
"Because they are identical in format to the photo cards issued prior to 1987, individual cards can be difficult to attribute to a specific year of issue."
Truer words were never written. For you see before you, both the 1986 Brito (on the left) and the 1987 Brito (on the right). I think.
About the only thing that lends credence to this lot to be from 1987 are the inclusion of a couple of players that only played with Cleveland in 1987: Rick Dempsey and Ed Vande Berg. That's one more saved eBay search I can retire.

Sadly, no, I sold the lot back in 2013. I've updated the post to avoid further misdirection.
