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.

Collection Statistics

Total Players 877/977 = 89.25%
1991 Orioles Crown Set
Total Players 309/465 = 66.45%
Alive Players 274/369 = 74.25

Trade Talks

I am currently in a good phase with regards to autograph trading.  SportsCollectors.net has a huge following and a lot of cards out there that I need.

I was able to email Billy (bwk123) and get a sweet little deal moving along.
 
Juan Guzman 1999 Fleer Tradition #403
This is one of two Oriole upgrades in this trade, even if it is a little dry.  Guzman has been difficult to track down and his limited time in Baltimore didn't allow for many autographs.  I now have a 1993 Triple Play Blue Jays autograph available.
 
 Willis Otanez 1999 Sports Illustrated #59
Upgrading again, this one takes the place of a 1994 Upper Deck Minor league issue of Otanez as a Dodger.
 
 Steve Pearce 2008 SPx Rookie Signatures #134
Pearce was a good addition to the club in the middle of the year last season.  He came through in the clutch a couple times and filled a gap in the outfield.  Unfortunately he didn't last down the stretch and made his way to the dark side for the Playoffs.  He has appeared on a Postcard for the Orioles, so that will be needed in the future.
 
 Omar Quintanilla 2004 Bowman #199 
See above.  But this guy never got a postcard.
