If I chose the correct version from TCDb it looks like it's /50Hey Matt, what’s that square jersey card numbered out of? I assume it’s out of 50, hoping it wasn’t more limited than that. Hunting for one now either way.

Yep, that's correct. /50 on the square jersey.
worked at Ace Novelty, Bellevue Wa., in 1992 in the design and pre-press dept. We had applied too MLB for a license to print and sell baseball cards. We were given the OK to present a proposal of finished printed baseball cards and packaging. After we made our proposal and at the last minute they decided not to issue any new licenses. What we had printed for the proposal were to be disposed of. As I was the pre-press manager I was able to salvage some of the very best of the cards and some packaging from the garbage. Over the last 32 years I have kept these safely stored away. I recently received info (Thank-YouTanner www.TanManBaseballFan.com) that these cards may be of great interest and value especially the Kirby Puckett card which I have in English and French. I have taken these in to two local card shops and they are very interested and are asking pricing. I have also shown these to some on-line collectors who also show interest and are asking prices. I saw the Griffey card on E-Bay once for $899. I have also read several stories and emails from people who are aware of the cards being out their. one said he had purchased 2 Griffeys for $500 each and said he was very pleased. I personally believe I may be one of a very few who saved these cards, and I might have the largest collection.
I worked at Ace Novelty, Bellevue Wa., in 1992 in the design and pre-press dept. I have a collection of all the cards we submitted to MLB in 1992. MLB decided not to issue any new licenses that year do to market saturation and declining demand. What I have are the finished printed product that we submitted. I have had these for 34 years and they are in pristine condition, printed front and back, with a set of 92 All Stars with red and gold foil including Ken Griffey Jr. English and Japanese version, I also have only one Edgar Martinez card. I don't know if any others exist. and hundreds more of the 92 biggest stars. I am in the process of getting these graded, but if you are interested email me. These are all very rare, and have already sold some to collectors here on FreedomCardboard. I will attach the Edgar card
Here are the Puckett R&N China cards I have. I’ve tried to describe the details on some as there seem to be a lot of minor variations.
