For the record, though I handled plenty back then when they were barely worth anything, I don't have any Fleer or Star basketball today, so I don't exactly have a stake in the game.
I was always in the earlier the better crowd. I liked minor league sets and minor league cards to. Pre-Rookie vintage photos are one of my favorite things in the world. The general card buying public though....not so much.

I don't have any more of them either.
Some of the minor league cards have really increased in value though. Greg Maddux has an expensive one worth more than any of his MLB cards(condition sensitivity aside). Ripken has a rare minor league card worth a bunch too.
I always thought that if someone got excited over a rookie card, then they should be really excited of that same player's minor league card from a few years prior.
