My method: guessing who would be pictured and looking on Ebay. search terms:

Seaver photo ball

Using the same criteria for the Giants (Clark, Robinson, Krukow, Hammaker), I'm led to believe one doesn't exist.

I will make a preliminary checklist for what is on Ebay as of today that I can find. If interested in the photos, you can get them from the ebay links.

CAA-83 Angels: Doug DeCinces, Fred Lynn, Rod Carew, Reggie Jackson
https://ebay.com/itm/254037923602

CRN-83 Reds: Ron Oester, Dave Concepcion, Dave Parker, Mario Soto
https://ebay.com/itm/202729032290

LADN-83 Dodgers: Dusty Baker, Fernando Valenzuela, Pedro Guerrero, Steve Sax
https://ebay.com/itm/223576999308

LADN-84 Dodgers: Mike Marshall, Greg Brock, Bill Russell, Ken Landreaux
https://ebay.com/itm/254037921398

NYMN-83 Mets: Mookie Wilson, Tom Seaver, George Foster, Dave Kingman
https://ebay.com/itm/153433667077

NYYA-83 Yankees: Ron Guidry, Rick Cerone, Dave Winfield, ? Gossage
https://ebay.com/itm/312573486816

With the presents of the 84 ball, it has the same card back as the 83 balls. Either there is a second series for 84 teams, or the "first series" that the cardback mentions includes some from 83 and 84.

EDIT: I searched for every player on the 1982 all-star game, not already on the above list, but could find no additional entries not even loose ones.

Example search terms:
trillo baseball -signed -bobblehead -cap -jersey -pinback

Thanks for doing that. Prices are all over the place. I wouldn’t pay much for a Giants ball, if one even exists.
