      Hi Glen,
      They sure have changed. I’m not aware of any free options that handle both inventory/value. I believe anything that is going to automatically adjust values in a database is going to charge you for use.

      Happy Collecting!

      Hi Bob,

      Monitoring the MLB Top 30 lists for each team is a solid start, but pretty much everyone does that. Baseball America is another popular resource for the minor leagues – but it requires a subscription. If you have social media, follow the accounts of the actual minor league teams. There are some other good resources, but most of them have membership fees.
