Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

As you can see from the images, I have 2 large boxes of Star Co minor league sets (they contained more than 700 sets). I also have a monster box with many singles (extras from the team sets as well as many of the cards from the 1989 series 1 packs). So far, I have logged the 1988 sets that are available FS/FT, however, trade matching does not really work on complete sets like that. I may have to settle for listing the sets here, and hoping that people who are interested see this thread.When I have complete sets, I am looking to keep the sets intact (hence why I did not list them as the individual cards). Individual cards were listed as individuals and are available for purchasing or for trades.

I would prefer to sell the teams sets at this time, and will give priority (and better deals) to those who purchase.

Purchases of up to 20 sets will be based on market values (but will not be market value - for example, if the most recent sales on ebay show the set selling at $12-$15, my price will probably be in the $8-$9 area). (So if you only pick the 1988 Charlotte Rangers and the 1990 New Britain Red Sox, don't expect to get the deal you see below.) However, a purchase of 10-20 sets will be discounted nicely.

Purchases of 21-50 sets will be priced at $3 per set + exact shipping (your choice, if necessary, I will opt for the lowest price between USPS's options or UPS).

Purchases of 51-100 sets will be priced at $2.50 per set + exact shipping (again, you choose the shipping method).

Purchases of 101 or more will be priced at $2 per set + exact shipping.

Details on the sets and what exactly in included will be in subsequent postings to this thread. Thanks for looking.

The "+#" means the number of "extras" in the set - in the 3 cases here, those were error/corrections that were made - sets contain both versions of the cards.

Edit to add - I found another 50 of the Carolina League Ad Cards, currently unlisted here.

Please note that MANY of these sets were issued in "series", per se. Sheets were set up in four 25-card quadrants (100-card sheets, 10 x 10), so in mny cases, only 25 cards for a set were printed while anything beyond that had to wait for sheets with openings or sheets where a full quadrant could be filled with these "overflow" cards. In many cases, the 25-card partial sets were sent to the teams and/or dealers before the "update" portion could be produced or collated. Sometimes those portions came through the "collation group" and sometimes they did not. Other than a couple of the Logo cards, the 1989 "singles" that I had have been added to the sets when they weren't already there. 

Edit - adding the red/blue WPB Expos logo cards to the 3 sets here.

1990 Team sets available:

Team - Quantity
Beloit Brewers - 15

So the WPB Expos team logo card is a mystery (which I'm about to post a separate thread about). I have the red/blue card in the 1990 sets (all of my sets have that card with them) and I have a blue/green one that I think is from 1989 (the mystery card). 

Edit - pulling the WPB logo cards from the 1990 sets. They belong with 1989.

I wish I had met you 10 years ago. 

I wish I had been able to dig these out 10 years ago. It's been a process to get the room to be able to do this. Now, I'm hoping to get these out of here.

In my haste to get things listed yesterday, I missed listing the 1989 Star Company Platinum Minor League Team Sets available:

Team - Quantity
Burlington Indians - 1
Canton-Akron Indians - 1
Clearwater Phillies* - 1
Dunedin Blue Jays* - 1
Greenville Braves - 1
Hagerstown Suns - 3
Harrisburg Senators - 1
Madison Muskies - 1
Martinsville Phillies* - 1
Martinsville Phillies - 1
Peninsula Pilots* - 1
Princeton Pirates - 1
Watertown Indians* - 2
Winter Haven Red Sox - 1

The * means that the "set" I have contains only the first 25 cards of the set.

Please remember that there were only 1,000 of each of these sets produced, and I'm not sure that many ever made it out the door.
