This production level for this set may be relatively low. I collected minor league cards up until 2001 and this set was one of the more valuable 1978 sets. Although, its value is due more to the Harold Baines card than the LaRussa. Back in 2001, the complete 25 card set was valued at $250 (a later release with 26 cards was valued at $350). I just did a search at a major minor league card dealer and he has the complete 25 card set listed at $195. There is also a complete set on eBay for $105.
If you're interested in LaRussa, he also had a card in the 1979 Iowa Oaks minor league team set. |

Some of the 1970's minor league team sets are very rare, in some instances, only a few hundred were made. Very few collectors means these sets almost never sell for book price.

After reading Mike's post, I was feeling a little low since I sold my set 5 years ago on a 7 day ebay auction and got $30 for it.
Checked recently sold auctions on ebay and see that it went for $41 dollars with a psa graded Baines about 2 weeks ago. Tony |

However, eBay always has better deals. I got the Knoxville set in the late '90s for $77 - well below book at that time. Like you said, even though the production rate is low, the demand is also low. eBay points this out. Bottom line for the LaRussa card in the OP's link, $50 is way too much for the single LaRussa card. |

BTW, my 2010 book lists the 1978 Knoxville set at $100 |

This thread brought back some fond memories of Bill Meyer Stadium in Knoxville.
http://www.ballparkreviews.com/knox/meyer.htm The only time I ever saw that place packed was when the San Diego Chicken came to town. (He was hilarious by the way) that was in my high school years so probably 80, 81, 82 ish. Around those years my friends and I would show up around the 7th inning, walk in free and catch the last part of the game. Of course in my college years spent quite a few evenings there at nickel beer night - do I remember that correctly? 5 cents for a beer? It must've been dollar beer..... |
