I've been buying modern/ultra-modern minor league sets and getting key cards graded for years. It's my "multi-hundred dollar get rich never scheme".

While the supply is lower for minor league cards, so is the demand. They can make cool collectables with solid value to the right audience.

I like your "multi-hundred dollar get rich never scheme". I have a lot of schemes like that!

Here is a minor league card of a HOF'er....

While not valuable, these 3 Zeenuts cards depict the player who knocked in the winning run in the 12th inning of Game 7 of the 1924 World Series, making WS winners of WaJo and the Washington Senators:

Unfortunately Leon that Zeenut card pictures Bill Cronin, not Joe Cronin. Perhaps the get rich scheme is convincing others that it is actually Joe. Bill was a major league player...here is his Wikipedia entry:

As Elon says, no one bats a thousand!

Bill could have made the HOF if he had batted better than .230
