An area of collectibles, that I fear are disappearing, are printed media guides. A couple years ago, the Orioles transitioned to electronic guides.
In addition to looking for programs of Orioles minor league affiliates, I also collect media guides of affiliates, when I come across them. Over the years, like the Orioles media guides, minor league guides can be found in several different forms.
Early guides included traditional type guides, as well as record books and spring training rosters.

More recent guides are more typical and include plenty of interesting information, if you're into that type of thing.
1981 Rochester Red Wings, 2004 Ottawa Lynx, 2013 Aberdeen Ironbirds and 2019 Bowie BaySox

For a few years, from 1997-2000, the Bowie BaySox, Frederick Keys and Delmarva Shorebirds all shared a media guide.

Many teams didn't print their own media guide each year. For those years, I try and pick up the media guide printed by the league.
1988 Carolina League (Hagerstown Suns), 2002 South Atlantic League (Delmarva Shorebirds) and 2000 Appalachian League (Bluefield Orioles)
