488.0. "1992 Upper Deck Minor League Baseball Cards" by FUTURE::JST_ONGE (John St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715) Thu Oct 08 1992 15:32

    This note is for the upcoming 1992 Upper Deck Minor League Baseball
    cards.  It'll be interesting to see the effect Upper Deck will have
    on all minor league cards,  whether the  other  brands  just die or
    more interest is generated in them because of Upper Deck.  I'm sure
    Fleer won't be far behind  either  in  getting  something out since
    they bought out ProCards.

488.1UD Minor League Baseball cardsCARTUN::PAVLOCKTue Dec 01 1992 01:4025
    Just bought a box of the UD Minor League Baseball cards tonight.
    
    Really nice looking set!!  And since it's the first UD Minor league
    set.....
    
    I think it's a 400 (approx) card set with two insert sets.  One insert set
    are 26 "Player of the Year" cards.  Card says ____ Minor league player
    of the year.  The _____ is an individual team's name, with one per team.  
    The secondinsert set are holos.  I think these are really nice!  It's a 
    normal holo background with a regular picture of the player in the 
    foreground.
    
    Does anyone know how many holos there are in this insert set?
    
    I got 5 holos (including a Brien Taylor) and 6 player of the year cards 
    in one box.  I friend got 1 holo and 4 player of the year cards in her
    box.
    
    If anyone bought a box and wants to sell any of their insert cards,
    please send me mail.  Since I got this many, I might as well try to
    complete the sets.
    
    Regards,
    Denny

    26 Player of the Year cards.

488.5Check out Spags!POWDML::GASPARONIWed Dec 02 1992 11:264
    I saw these up to spags last nite, can't remember what the exact price
    was, but I think they were 49c per pack, I'm sure the box is cheaper.
    They had alot of cards, Skybox, 89c per, and Hoops, at 19.95 per 36
    count box.  They had a ton of football cards also.

    Being a sucker for anything baseball, I bought a box of these cards
    last week.  Alas, there was an excessive number of duplicates,
    including the same card twice in a pack quite often.  After I sorted
    the cards by number, a very definite pattern emerged, where gaps were 
    missing but where I'd get exactly 3 or 4 cards in another stretch.
    In total, I was almost 100 cards short of a 330-card set from a
    432-card box.  Not good.
    
    Anyway, the dealer I bought the cards from told me that I could send
    just the duplicates back to Upper Deck and they'd send replacement
    packs.  Has anyone done this for this problem?  Will this work, or was
    this just his attempt to absolve himself of any responsibility?  Thanks
    for any help...
    
    I do like the cards.  I pulled a very nice hologram card of Dmitri
    Young, a Cardinals' prospect whose future I like a lot, and
    organizational POY cards of Chipper Jones and Carlos Delgado, two
    other can't-missers (but probably will ;-).

488.7Worked with LeafKAOS::STOLLThu Dec 17 1992 15:167
    I tried this return deal with my Leaf Gold because of a coallation
    problem a local shop told me about. They returned an equal amount of
    Gold cards from a different run. I am going to try sending my dups
    back and I'll post the results. By the way those Holo's are the
    COOLEST out yet!! I also like the player subset even though it looks
    like a copy of the Leaf Gold Rookie cards.
