Can anyone identify these Bull Durham cards?

I would have bet my right arm that PSA had already graded one but I couldn't find a single Bull Durham entry in 1988 or 1989. Obviously a Gatorade promotion, which also means they were almost certainly released around the time of the film (1988). Anyone know what the official PSA ID line would be? I don't think I'll be opening this sealed set but I will be hunting for singles.
Thanks

I would expect them to be listed as '1988 Orion Bull Durham', but don't see any on the pop. Loose sets available here w/scans of the backs: https://www.ebay.com/itm/123324665777
ETA: PSA has graded the 1988 Star Durham Bulls cards https://www.psacard.com/pop/minor-league-cards/1988/star-durham-bulls/46957/
Thank you, LC! Didn't even think to just look on eBay. It's tough getting old. Weird, some of the sealed sets didn't have a Gatorade packet in them. Perhaps they weren't exclusively a Gatorade-only promotion. On the bright side, I just discovered those 2016 Archives cards and so now I have to get those. It never ends.

Interesting that these cards look great and have excellent color and layout, while mainstream baseball card were complete garbage in 1987-1988
Tom Glavine/John Smoltz/Roberto Alomar rookies would have been a lot better
