Here is a Dave Concepcion from the Winter League portion of the set, 4 years before his major league rookie card.

Timothy, Dave was my favorite player growing up in the southern half of Indiana in the early '80s -- I've been eyeing that card to pick it up. Yours is a beauty!
I had no idea until recently that he basically played in his home country every winter throughout his entire career.
