Looking for information on Sportflics prototypes

A friend recently picked up a 1985 Sportflics Joe DiMaggio prototype and is looking for information on it. Legendary Auctions sold one a few years back and in the auction they mentioned there may only be 2 of these prototypes in existence. I'm not sure how true that is, but if anyone has any information they would be willing to share, I would appreciate it.

And here's the pic of the card.

    From Beckett: These test cards were apparently produced in limited quantity to show Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association what Sportflics was proposing in order to be a new licensee for producing cards. These cards are very difficult to find and are considerably rarer than the Sportflics *Promo* cards which were given out after the Sportflics license had been granted.

    Sounds like they were issued as a 6 card set with Dimaggio and a trivia card being minis. Can't find any of that one on the Bay, but there are several Schmidt's and a Sutter. There had to be more produced than 2, there's a 10 card lot of the BV$50 Schmidt available. Dimaggio books for $80.
