Reviews
In the February 1993 issue of Beckett Baseball Card Monthly. Chuck Roethel gave the set a summary review of "two thumbs up!" The set was featured in the “Card Critic” column titled "Special Effects". Mr. Roethel raved "the design grabs your attention". Mr. Roethel lauded the set for substituting 'glitz and gold' for spotlighting 'personal information details...that bring the players into sharper focus.'

Promos
A 22-card set was issued by Donruss to promote the upcoming Studio set. Unlike the previous year's promo set, two-card packs were distributed directly to Hobby dealers and not included in that year's Donruss Factory set. Because of the method of distribution, this remains one of the rarest promo sets of the era.
The photos used in the Preview set are identical to that of the base set; however, the words "PREVIEW CARD" are printed on the back.
The Alomar and Smith cards are tougher to find than the other 20 cards in the set.
