I have a lot of Dodger farm club sets and some of the better key singles over the years (mostly 80s guys and by no means near comprehensive) and would pick up signed copies when I could find them, but nothing like the display there.
One of my favorites was the 1984 Cramer Las Vegas Stars set. At the time I got it, I was discovering John kruk as a prospect for the Padres and although it is not even his first minor league card, I was extremely happy as a kid to get not one, but 2 Kruk cards in that set!
And then, an ever better card the following year. There didn't seem to be a lot of nice action shots on minor league cards, just a lot of awkward close ups and weird fielding & batting poses, many with barely post-pubescent kids and their fuzzy lips and acne. Nice action shots were a welcome change.
Not my cards, just borrowed images from the net.
