I'm glad you're enjoying the thread. It's fun to share these little "projects" with fellow collectors...motivates me to keep going, and makes the little victories bigger since I get to share.
I've always loved minor league sets...I have bought a LOT over the years...for autographs, for rare/interesting cards of stars, and just for fun.

But the main reason I'm posting is to say that there is a "notable" card in the Huntington Cubs set - Amaury Telemaco. That name rang a bell and I looked him up on Baseball Reference. He pitched for around 9 years in the majors getting into over 200 games. He was a real stud with a -0.9 career WAR. I also looked into the Madison Muskies set and there is no one who stands out to me, not even Gubanich. I had to look him up, never heard of him before.

Ha ha....I guess "recognizable names" is very subjective. I consider myself a pretty informed baseball fan, and I don't recognize Telemaco. Gubanich played in the Red Sox system for a bit, so I remember him from that. He had a 0.2 career WAR in only 18 games.
