It's fun looking at some of the major leaguers and former top prospects in these sets...and just as interesting to see the teams that really seemed to have "nobody who became anybody" on the roster.

The Zephyrs for example, sport a number of familiar names on this checklist.

The Foxes sport Raul Ibanez and Shawn Estes.

The Clippers sport a lot of familiar names, although only Gerald Williams on the list really lasted long.

The Daytona Cubs really only have one name, Doug Glanville, who had a nice career and followed it up with some great writing for ESPN.

The Diamonds, however, don't have much for name recognition. Manager Ed Romero may be the biggest.

Good luck, sounds like a fun lot! One piece of advice where the team has a name like "Chicks" or "Clippers" put the parent team in the title so you get views from people who collect that team like myself.

I've listed the first handful of sets, all from 1993, on eBay.

Starting them as auctions @ $3.99 plus $3.99 shipping.

Selling a set at this rate nets about a $2 profit. It won't take many sales at that rate to repay my initial investment.

Any sets that don't sell at this rate, we'll try again at a lower price...sets that don't sell at the lower price? I don't know yet. We'll see!

The first few sets:

1993 ProCards New Orleans Zephyrs
1993 ProCards Appleton Foxes
1993 ProCards Columbus Clippers
1993 ProCards Daytona Cubs
1993 ProCards Waterloo Diamonds
