Hey let's check out some minor league cards, whatchasay? I willfully collect cards of the Reds' minor league affiliates and certainly count them toward the card count. I have a couple hundred or so. They're a nice change of pace. Bonus: team names are usually pretty sweet.
Today we'll check out the AAA and AA affiliates of the Reds. Most teams, particularly pre-1980, I have no cards of, including most of the bitchin' names in the post title. Such is life. Minor league cards weren't terribly prevalent. But I have most of the last three decades well-represented. I tried to show a couple different uniforms if I could. Let's roll 'em.
