Thanks for posting this!

I can help with the Freeman's. What colors do you still need?
PM me.

Nice ones Ray. I'm getting an itch to go strolling along ebay. LOL!

Some fun low pops in the group...

1992 Pinnacle Rookies Lofton - PSA Pop 8, 9's = 3
1990 Collegiate Collection Lofton - PSA Pop 2, 9's = 1 (I own both cards)
1993 Procards Wagner - PSA Pop 1!
1999 Fleer Update Hudson - PSA Pop 289, PSA 9's = 166
1999 Fleer Update Nathan - PSA Pop 14, PSA 9's = 7
2000 Fleer Update Buehrle - PSA Pop 76, PSA 9's = 28
2000 Fleer Update Santana - PSA Pop 327, PSA 9's = 190

Really wish cheap grading was still available. Got this card from eBay and it is a beauty. I really need to figure out my scanner settings and also clean it before I take pictures. The 1983, 1984, and 1985 Topps are really pretty cards if they are centered.

I love the Lofton Arizona, Cone and Wagner.

Great cards. I know they printed a billion of them but I never understand why ProCards and CCs aren't more popular. Especially for HOFers.

Thanks...they are cool cards!

I agree, I don't understand why minor league cards of that era are so low pop and low demand. Yeah, a lot of them were printed, but not as many as the major brands, and there are tons of those graded!

Either I've identified a "market inefficiency" in graded minor league cards of future HOFers, or I'm just the only person who likes them. Either way, I'm good.

Nah.. I love them too.. I've got a box of random raw 4 Sports that I can't wait to go through. Off the top of my head I know I've got a minor league Jeter and Pedro Martinez in storage that I think I'll get slabbed when prices stabilize or maybe SGC if PSA doesn't come back down to earth soon.
