He helped release a couple of pretty cool minor league sets in the mid-1980s, like you said, and I'd love to know how many cards are in his basement!Anthony Nunezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242610826264193511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601288284583281350.post-61575684492155936852016-03-20T07:36:01.420-07:002016-03-20T07:36:01.420-07:00Interesting to see that in 1979, Donn Jennings was...Interesting to see that in 1979, Donn Jennings was doing the mail-order operation out of his house. Just a few years after that, he would open what be the largest sports card store in Alabama for years. He even ended up as part owner of the Huntsville Stars and produced most of their early team sets. Sadly these store is long since closed (I think some time in the early 2000s), and I never found out how he liquidated his inventory.Jason Presleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543465200431539036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601288284583281350.post-41698265496003044082016-03-18T09:23:47.050-07:002016-03-18T09:23:47.050-07:00Wow.

Makes me wonder why Upper Deck has not issued a set like this (I'm sure the licensing fees would be pretty reasonable).Anthony Nunezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242610826264193511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601288284583281350.post-23661912395817871172016-03-17T10:30:23.617-07:002016-03-17T10:30:23.617-07:00I wish some American company would revive this con...I wish some American company would revive this concept. I would love to see a set, in English, based around the prominent players from Korea, Japan and Taiwan, that is NOT just another lazy World Baseball Classic set.Jason Presleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543465200431539036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601288284583281350.post-28104312796690012492016-03-17T08:25:51.901-07:002016-03-17T08:25:51.901-07:00I was fortunate to snag my set for just under $25 ...I was fortunate to snag my set for just under $25 delivered.
