The title only truly works when said as Adam Sandler's character Billy Madison, but yesterday was nothing short of winning the lottery. The autograph lottery. At least for me.
A total of 21 different Orioles Crown autographs were waiting me when I came home last night, following my first visit to Camden Yards this year. It was a shame the Orioles lost, such a promising start, but I won. BIG. Every card I added was of a difficult to find autograph, deceased player or player who charges for signatures. I am reluctant to pay out a ton of money for autographs, so a trade is right up my alley.
I gave up 40 or so Brian Roberts 2008 Topps Moments & Milestones variations, including three 1/1's, but all was well worth it. I am hoping he will need more stuff from me in the future because there are still a ton of goodies I need to pluck from his list.
It would take days to write about each player in depth so for once, I will let the pictures do the talking.

My stats are creeping toward 50% on the total roster and total Crown set. Lets keep that momentum rolling.
