Does this 1994 Topps card actually exist?

Would have made for a sweet card.

The expression on his face doesn't come close to being realistic for the situation (I won't even mention the lack of a haze of dirt from the supposed slide) and it is high definition without any movement of his features at all. Clearly, a posed shot. Plus, if you look at the pic of the card itself, the head (and the lighting) doesn't seem to fit with the body. They either photoshopped the heck out of a 'real' posed photo or had an 'action shot' picture of someone sliding into home, and popped Piazza's head onto the catcher.

It's also humorous that the runner appears to be safe, under the tag of Piazza. But that's staged because then both players fill up the frame. Surprised Piazza let them take it when it looks like he's being scored on... ;-)

Well, the ad does claim that the cards have "pictures that tell the whole story." Maybe that's why he's got that look on his face...

The real question is who's the Cardinal player that's safe at the plate?

Higher res picture needed, but my guess is an actor.

I think the number is #24, which was unused in 1993.
