Dodgers minor league extravaganza!

[@xavierwren0212]

Wow these are a lot of awesome cards! Interesting sets and players here!

[@RustyVintageCards]

What a score! That is a sweet lot of minor league cards. I enjoy seeing the pre-fame/success photos on the minor league cards. In some cases they do hold high value like the Griffey, but I think a lot of them are undervalued and under appreciated. Nice find!

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks Rusty! Was super fun to dig through.

[@Hodges1455]

Gave a video like. Love those 1980's team sets. That would have been a nightmare to try and buy all of those by individual team set. What a great find, Mark! The Pedro Martinez cards are sweet. Love the Orel Hershiser. He is a PC guy of mine.

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Totally! I'm very happy to have picked them all up on one big lot.

[@JayAvgVintageCollector]

This is all very cool stuff that you just don’t see everyday. Love the Koufax coach card! I also enjoyed the Costner cards. These underrated sets like TCMA are fantastic! Topps Heritage still does (?) a minor league set that is pretty nice. I have a few of those type of minor league stuff. I also have some of the Pro Cards as well. Thanks for the video and thanks for sharing!

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks Jay! I'd never seen these before so was a lot of fun. Haven't looked into the Heritage minor league and don't really know about any of the modern cards, but love seeing players who ended up in HOF in their early minor league career. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting and have a great day!

[@TCBsprtscards]

Really enjoyed seeing all those cards! Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks so much, and hope you have a great day too!

[@Valuevintagecards-Aaron]

Great stuff, Mark! I enjoy the minor league cards. Pedro and Hershiser are very cool. I am glad you landed that Koufax coach card as well. Amazing pick up!

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks Aaron! Going through them and finding things I wasn't expecting to was the most fun part!

[@stuke1976]

Fun stuff Mark!

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks!

[@AngryOldManTTM]

Great video and super cards. Congrats on the great pickups and thanks for sharing.

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks so much! Was a lot of fun.

[@vintageonvintage817]

That was an amazing buy Mark! As a Dodger fan it was really cool to see all those great player’s minor league cards! Lots of fun to watch thanks for sharing!

[@MarksDodgersCards]

I was thrilled with this one and was so much fun to find them. I didnt' show all the people who made it to the majors, but there were a lot of people I followed and was fun to see all their minor league cards. Thanks for watching!

[@thinkblue7718]

That was a great buy imo. Great cards ive never seen before like the Koufax coach card is awesome. Also liked the pedro Martinez and police issued early 80s sets. The first 3 sets you showed were really cool. A lot of great binder stuff. Im probably going to be looking for that Koufax now thanks for sharing 👍

[@MarksDodgersCards]

@@thinkblue7718 thanks! It was a ton of fun and I think a great value. I’d never seen most of minor league stuff before so that was a lot of fun. Grab the Koufax, they’re not that expensive and It’s a cool image!

[@3GoodNerds]

That was fun. I really liked seeing those HOFers as baby faced kids just trying to break into the Show.

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Totally - they are so much fun to see.

[@davidm686]

Man that is an awesome haul! Love minor league cards and tcma cards in particular. I actually just picked up the Ryno pre rookie. I’m gonna have to get those Dave Stewart’s…those are so great. The tcma set of the ‘52 dodgers is outstanding. Have a great weekend Mark

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks David - it was super fun to dig through. Ryno pre rookie sounds like a cool one. Hope you're having a great weekend too.

[@CollectingMaddux1987]

Excellent find, for $60 it is worth the fun alone.

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Absolutely - great value for the fun sorting through them.

[@scootscollectibles]

Well worth the 65! Some pretty cool stuff in there. Fun stuff

[@MarksDodgersCards]

I thought so! It was just fun to sort through a bunch of stuff I hadn't seen before.

[@W238thStreet]

Saved a gem for the end. Awesome.

[@MarksDodgersCards]

I was not expecting to get a Chipper Jones pre-rookie in this lot if that's what you're talking about. Was definitely a surprise!

[@blixcards]

Whoa, that's a huge score for $65! There is a blue-bordered Pedro from 1990 in one of those sets I believe. Any unopened sets are fairly easy to research on COMC. See what is available for sale - but always click on the "Only Sold Out" tab on the left. Often times the key cards are sold out and will either be key/obscure players or wacky pictures like the Comstock nut shot or Cubbie Bear for example. But the Sold Out section still lists the pictures of the cards not available. Sometimes actors or celebrities will even have cards. What a buy, congratulations Mark! I still need a few Pedro minor league cards if you have doubles and need to move any.

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks for the info and for checking out my video. I was super stoked to have gotten this one. Was so much fun! I have a double on the Pedro where he is on the St. Antonio Missions, I think. I'l check.

[@blixcards]

@@MarksDodgersCards Oh nice, I'd be interested in taking a look whenever you have the time. That kind of lot is a dream come true for me, I am a huge fan of the minor league stuff. Thanks Mark!

[@bagwell78]

That Great Falls Dodgers card is Pedro's very first card. Not super valuable card, about $50-$70 in a PSA 9, but an awesome card nonetheless. It's Pedro's first appearance on a card. These late 70s and 80s minor league cards, imo, are very underrated. For starers, they are in many cases the player's first appearance on a card. Also, although bot rare, they are significantly more scarce than their junk wax overprinted mlb rookies. With some if these minor league sets, only a few thousand were printed, that's especially true for the TCMA sets from the late 70s and early 80s. And out of those several thousand sets, how many actually survived? Likely not many given that they were minor league cards. People or their mother's probably tossed them out when they left for college 😊. Some of them can fetch $$$ i.e., the 1980 TCMA Sandberg. Check out TCDB....most of the HOFers who started their career in the early 80s, including the late Rickey Henderson, have minor league cards which precede their mlb rookies. Even pre-war players like Lazzeri, the Waner brothers, Ernie Lombardi, Dazzy Vance, Cochrane, have minor league cards, ftom the PCL.....

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks for all the info! Thats's very cool about the Pedro card being his first one. I'm glad I have it now! The prewar ones, you talking about the Zeenuts? I know those are pretty rare - a friend of mine has a whole album of them his grandfather left for him. They are very cool.

[@bagwell78]

Yes, the Zeenuts. They are out there but relatively scarce, especially in decent condition.
