Continuing the string of additions to the Crown Set. It's a clear signature, sweet stache and in blue sharpie, can't ask for much more.

When I was collecting Cal Ripken I picked up a 1986 O-Pee-Chee Orioles team set that I really like. This is the second autograph from that set and I really enjoy the look. It doesn't hurt that this is probably the first set I remember collecting.
Wayne Gross 1985 Fleer #179
This card was acquired in a trade earlier last year, before I sent to Mr. Gross. With the new additions this card is now a double, looking for a loving, caring, smoke-free home. Anyone want to adopt this lovely little fellow?
Even though I have not been posting I have been busy with the collection. I am taking my lunch hour to print, address, stamp and mail more TTM requests. Seeing as I can't access the Internet from work, lunch is the only time during the day I can work on the collection.
Just this week I have sent out over 50 TTM requests. I sent out the last Oriole Crown requests that I have addresses for and have turned my attention to some newer players. Roberto Alomar emerged last year to sign pretty well TTM and I sent to him as well as others from the 1997 A.L. East Championship team. I also sent about 15 requests to Spring Training. Many of the players I am going after are pitchers and catchers and am hoping to get a jump on the rest of the autograph seekers. Hopefully the stadium accepts the requests and doesn't return them all. I am keeping my fingers crossed on that one.
Also it seems that trading has heated up a bit. Made a few trades and have a few more in the works. If they all pan out there should be a bunch of new additions in the short-term.
