I had to pay a ridiculous price to get him to sell just the Cowens, Hargrove, and Zahn out of the lot but I figured I would never get them otherwise. The Zahn is an upgrade.

There was a 1985 Subway Disc base set for sale on eBay recently, it has a Gossage which proves it exists, a yellow Cowens which is a new color variation, and a red Cooper. I haven't seen a green Cooper yet but a moderator on TCDB assured me it exists so I will take his word. That means as of now the differences between the 1985 Thom McAn and 1985 Subway sets are the 1985 Subway set doesn't have the ten Puerto Rican players and each set has three color variations that the other set doesn't have. There are color variations of Hargrove, Walker, and Zahn in the 1985 Thom McAn set which aren't known as of yet in the 1985 Subway set, and there are color variations of Quisenberry, Sutter, and Wilson in the 1985 Subway set which aren't known as of yet in the 1985 Thom McAn set.

I read at some point about the 10 Puerto Rico Players are the most difficult to find, because only was marketed only in Puerto Rico. Few years ago a seller sold the set of Puerto Rican Players for $1,000.00

The ten Puerto Rican players are only available in the 1985 Thom McAn set with printed backs and are not in the blank backed 1985 Subway set, other than the red Benny Ayala the ten Purto Rican players are abundant. There are currently four on eBay in the $12 range and seven sold recently in the $12-$14 range. I don't know why the red Benny Ayala is rare, there was one in that $1000 lot you were referring to and I have no doubt that is why it sold for that price. I have been looking for the red Benny Ayala myself but I wasn't going to pay $1,000 for one. Apparently the yellow 1985 Thom McAn Cal Ripken is also rare, according to replies in these threads.
