All three cards are big names, Hall-of-Famers in fact! Jim Palmer is probably my favorite of the three, just a great looking card right there. Added bonus points for the two-tone hat with cartoon Oriole logo.
Tony Perez is much appreciated as he also fills a hole in my Red Sox collection...
Zac also included a handful of Will Clark cards in the package. I had most of them already but there were two that were new to me. I could use a hand in clarifying exactly what these cards are:
Both cards are from the same set, and as you can see the design is very minimal. Basically just a full-bleed photo with some basic text indicating player and team name. The backs of these say 1988 Baseball's Best Photos. I did find the '88 Baseball's Best Photos in Zistle's online library, however these two Clarks are listed as numbers 22 and 25 in the set, and according to Zistle card #25 should be Jose Canseco. Can anyone shed some light on these or direct me to a checklist somewhere? I'd be extremely grateful for any help.
Here's the other card. Without question the highlight of this one is the photographer to the right of Clark. Tank top, mullet, short shorts and jacked-up striped athletic socks. That's basically your horrible '80s fashion in a nutshell right there.
Thanks for the trade zac247s! If anyone can help me with these Clarks please leave a comment!

Mother's Cookies, maybe.
Mother's Cookies cards generally have rounded corners and the backs will be clearly marked.
My guess is that these are Broder cards. I put up a few examples of them here.
Yeah, definitely Broder cards.
Here's another link to help.
"Broder" has,in some circles, become a generic term based on a photographer and his son.
OOPS ! HERE'S THE LINK !!http://baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/Broder
Yup thanks for the info guys, I'm definitely sitting on two Broder cards here!
