MINOR LEAGUE SINGLES

Hello and thanks for visiting my web site. I specialize in breaking up team card sets from minor league baseball teams and selling the individual cards. This allows collectors to obtain the cards they need without having to buy the whole set. My customers include autograph collectors, college alumni collectors, state or local area collectors, and folks with many other varied collecting projects. I enjoy working with serious collectors and have helped hundreds find the minor league baseball cards they needed in the 16+ years I have been in business. My inventory of team set cards is extensive, covering the period from 1972 to the present. About 6,100 minor league team sets were issued during that time and I have cards from about 97% of them. I attempt to obtain all the minor league team sets issued every year, including Independent League sets. I might not have the cards you seek, but there's a good chance I will.

I have developed an extensive computerized data base of minor league team set checklist information, and can produce a list of team set cards which exist for any player for the period from 1972 to 2010. Click on the "ORDERING" icon below for more info on obtaining a free data base search.

I do not sell major league baseball cards except for a few oddball sets which are listed under the "OTHER CARDS FOR SALE" icon. I do not specialize in non-team set minor league cards such as Just Minors, Bowman, TriStar, Justifiable, etc. - I call them wax pack cards. I do have a lot of wax pack minor league cards from 1989 thru 1995, but none since then. I do not sell complete minor league team sets - click the "COMPLETE SETS" icon for a list of dealers who do.

This web site is a way to make contact with customers and to explain my business, prices, policies, etc. I don't sell cards directly through the web site. Please check out the info in the links below and contact me by email or phone if you have questions or want to place an order.

2011 Minor League Team Sets - All of the known 2011 team sets have now been produced. Only a few affiliated minor league teams did not produce card sets this year - they are: Burlington Royals, Great Falls, Idaho Falls, Jamestown, Kingsport, and Staten Island. These prospects sets were not produced: Calif Lg Prospects, Eastern Lg Prospects and Southern Lg Prospects Four teams did not produce "regular" sets but do have Disabled American Veterans sets - they are Jupiter, Palm Beach, Salt Lake, and Reno. Only 28 Independent teams produced card sets this year - the lowest figure for some time.

The Disabled American Veterans again produced a high number of 2011 sets - around 30+ - I don't have an exact count yet. They vary in size from 5 to 30 cards. I have a few of them and will probably be able to obtain all the rest, but that will not be confirmed for a while yet. I am attempting to obtain checklists for all of the DAV sets so that they will be included in my data base for you whether or not I get the cards in. If you have a checklist for Bowie or Salt Lake I would appreciate it if you would contact me.

2011 Card Prices - As I mentioned in my last Update, I lost my team set supplier this year and have had to buy 2011 sets directly from the teams at retail prices, and pay a whole lot for shipping. This has significantly increased my costs for 2011 cards and after a great deal of analysis and thought I've decided to price 2011 team set cards at $2.10 each. I hope that this slight increase over the price of recent years will not be too big a burden to many of you - I decided that the 2011 cards have to "pay their own way." There are no increases in prices for earlier cards. Because of huge increases in postage rates for the small padded envelopes I use for mailing, I am now paying postage for all orders over $16 rather than the previous $10. That's the only change - my volume discount schedule is the same. Some good news is that because of the high shipping charges I had to pay to the teams, I bought more of each 2011 set than I would have in the past, meaning that I should have more of the cards you need.

Vacation - I plan to be on vacation from October 4 thru 31. No orders will go out then - the housesitter doesn't do cards. If you get your order in before then I'll do my best to get it out to you.

And finally - thanks so much to the many customers who helped me out over the past few months by letting me know about prices on 2011 cards, buying and shipping cards for me, picking up promotional cards, and in some cases just sending along a set as a gift. I really appreciate it!!
