-I realize that going back even to the early 1900's (or before?) minor league cards were not unusual, but those are probably out of my limited price range.
-I also understand that TCMA had a history of minor league cards in the early or mid 70's.
-And I know about Fritsch b/c of the 1983 Jose Canseco.
But I'd like to learn/find/search more.
I'm just generally interested in this.
And, specifically, I find it hard to believe that I can't find, say, an original Eddie Murray minor league card--not even on ebay. Did he really not have any cards done from his minor league days?
Any experts out there care to comment?
Thank you!

If minor leage cards of modern stars are within budget, so are many of the minor league cards from the early 1900's
T206 has quite a few minor league cards. If you're not picky about condition a reasonably nice one can be had for around $20-30.
Obaks are also reasonable.
C46s are usually a bit more, but still not crazy.
There's tons of minor league sets, some are less common but not expensive others are very hard to find and also expensive.
The Standard catalog had/has a huge minor league section, even though it's an actual book it's worth getting. Maybe a used 2010 edition? There must be a few out there an amazon oe ABE books.
