This weekend I acquired a 2014 team set of the St. Louis Unions, which is a vintage base ball team. For those unfamiliar, this is competitive baseball played with rules, uniforms, and equipment of the 19th century. There are a lot of these teams organized in the midwest, but I don't know how widespread the game is. My question is: how do I categorize this set when I enter it into the database? Would it be considered a minor league set, a team set, or an oddball set?
To be clear, this is a current set of a current team. I use the phrase "Vintage Base Ball" because that is what they call their version of the game. It is not a vintage set of cards.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Oddball is pretty much the catch-all for anything not covered by the other categories, so I'd put them in there. I'm very interested in seeing the set. |

I have to go along with "oddball". Definitely not minor league. |

If you're interested in som concurrence, then you'll get some from me. Oddball is where these belong.

Looking forward to seeing these. In my head, I'm thinking of the classic Conan O'Brien show sketch:

That clip was hilarious Jimmyjam. And the uniforms quite similar to the set I have.

Where do you find oddball? I'd like to see the set, but I'm not sure where to look for it. |
