The word sample replaced the card number on back in the lower right corner in the circle

While the Paramount brand was never produced due to Pacific's loss of the licensing early in 2001 there were still 3 sample cards produced and distributed to the media and dealers according to the SCD.  They were Barry Bonds, Vladmir Guerrero and Greg Maddux.   Are there others unlisted besides Thomas?
