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.

Breaking Out The Big Guns

I have been contemplating my personal collection for some time.  The Orioles aspect will never go away, that I know for sure.  But I have been holding on to a few remnants of my Cal Ripken collection for 3 years now.  After much deliberation and at least one sleepless afternoon I have decided to sell my remaining certified autograph and relic cards.  Not sure I am ready to part with his iconic rookie cards just yet, probably never.

I have also reevaluated my Rick Dempsey collection.  Another collection neglected since 2009.  What I truly love about that colection is the oddball items of the mass production era of baseball cards.  So I have decided to liquidate my post-playing career collection for Dempsey.  That means, a bunch of autographs and serial numbers out there if anyone is interested.
