I'm thinking about doing the 134 Minor League Players. I know the Southern Leaguers are a challenge, but what other minor league players will prove to be the most expensive? Is this a reasonable quest to undertake

I'm perfectly fine with cards that are in P-G condition so I'm not looking for a PSA gallery and price listing. Just honest input as to which are the key minor league cards and what they might cost. I figure the four HOFer (Beckley, Collins, Kelley and McGinnity) will be on that list.

The HOF players for the minors are some of the cheapest in the set as far as HOF cards go.

Taking some of the cards that were mentioned above with my experience. (Usually don't spend more than $30 on a common).

Adkins is definitely a tough one I don't even own that card yet.
Ambrose Puttman is one that you may have to dig in your pocket a little more so than other minor leaguers.
Dessau has been said to be a little tough. Maybe I got lucky and was in the right place at the right time but I got a PSA 2 for about $30
Lundgren KC is sort of tough because his Cubs card is even tougher. Still don't own his card but one just ended in poor condition in the auction section for $18 the other day.
Theilman you just don't really see that often. Not sure why but the one time I saw one I pounced on it in the B/S/T section.

Also a note that you're including the SL players with the typical Minor League players as the typical minor league players there are only 86. SL players are a whole new ballgame and all of them will be far more expensive than the regular minor league players.
