The Quest

The Baltimore Orioles have been in town since '54 and have had over 900 men don their uniform. My goal is to obtain a signed card of each player. If you have something I need, or see something you want, don't be shy, we can make a deal.

Total Players 309/465 = 66.45%
Alive Players 274/369 = 74.25

USA! USA! USA!

For the first time in my life I broke down and bought some USA baseball cards. I couldn't pass up a guaranteed autograph for $9.99. And who knows, the next Bryce Harper could be out there lurking.

I do feel a little weird though. Buying cards of teenagers to prospect their future? Kinda creepy. I will tuck this set away, hoping the Orioles can draft a few of these guys, making their cards important to me.

Hopefully the above card will be worth a ton in 2 years. OK, 8 years. Who knows. That being said, it is up for trade. Who needs it.

    Just picked up one of these sets too... after reading a post on another blog. For the price, it's hard to beat.
