The Toronto Blue Jays Advanced A team in the Florida State League recently made available their 2015 Minor League team set. I stopped in their gift shop on a recent visit to Florida Auto Exchange Stadium and picked up a set for $10.
The photography is nice, but also very repetitive. All of the players are shown in action shots, which is great, but they're all basically the same. Pitchers are shown on the mound pitching, while all other players are pictured batting. No defensive pictures and no posed shots except for the coaches.
Here's the set so you can see for yourself. A few of the cards are signed because I opened the set at the stadium and got autographs while I was there.

See what I mean about the repetitiveness? The set did have some good looking horizontal images.

The backs of the cards are surprisingly nice for a team issued team set. Each player has career stats, a brief bio, and a color headshot.

Overall, it's a quality set with some great photography. I'm looking forward to getting more of these cards signed.
Those are pretty nice, and the photos are great. I see they "borrowed" from the 1993 Topps set for the design.
