5.0 out of 5 stars The most complete minor league price guide published today., May 28, 2000

By A Customer

Sports Collectors Digest follows up their 1,664-page "Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards" with another informative price guide, this 480-page guide specifically covers minor league cards. SCD has done their homework with this guide as well, publishing more information on more sets than any other price guides available. I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Minor League card collectors, you need this book!, June 30, 2003

I collect all of the Red Sox minor league teams, and this book helped me identify all of those team sets, plus provided a name-by-name breakdown of players on all of the prospects and all-star sets. If you are a team collector, you will love this book!

It's not easy to track minor league baseball cards.

You may recall "Beckett" once published a monthly called "Future Stars," where cards for minor leaguers, and various other college athletes, from all sports, were being tracked. Then, cardmaker "Classic" went out of business, and so "Future Stars" went away, too. But there was still some demand to know how the various Classic cards/sets were doing in the market, so Beckett made a second monthly they called "Vintage" -- combining sports card listings from the 50s/60s/70s with newer cards from baseball's minor leagues. So, you had a 1960 Johnny Unitas card tracked in the same book with a 1995 Andruw Jones (Macon Braves) card. Strange -- but it worked for me.

Anyway, these days, this guide represents the best overall checklist I've seen regarding minor league cards. The book came out prior to the 2000 season, so values are obsolete. But that doesn't mean you don't still get an accurate checklist for every significant minor league set ever made.

Hope these guys make a new one soon. I'm there.
