They are so unique, and filled with error and correction cards, skip numbered sets, late season additions to the set, and an assortment of unique team names.
It was a tremendous task, making sure that every card was present in each set, scanning the cards, and writing the descriptions. I couldn't have done it if I hadn't spent around $40 to purchase the 2000 Standard Catalog of Minor League Baseball Cards by Krause/SCD and Bob Lemke. Nearly every set is listed in this book, up through 1999 or 2000. When collating my sets, I did discover quite a few errors and omissions, but 99% of the info is accurate. Every player and every card for each set is listed, so you can go through the book and pick out the sets that contain HOFers.
Good luck, and enjoy collecting the Minor League sets.

I have a lot of sets from the same years but even more, singles, ever since I started when I could get one at a good price I would buy or trade for it. I still love them and still buy them but they are harder to buy the ones I really want from those years.

I have always loved this one because football was my first sports love watching when I was younger, lived in south Florida during the 1972 undefeated season run for the Miami Dolphins.
I had two of these in my life and traded both of them away for other things. One trade I am still happy with because it was a rarer older item, but the other trade I still kick myself for a little but I really had to do it at the time. I traded it for new highly sought after cards I was able to sell right away when I was unemployed and paying my bills selling at card shows back in the day.
I also love the crossover of the Danny Ainge card which is a few years older if I remember corrctly. I would love to get another one of either of them.
