I collect baseball cards. I know I'm a dork but I have lived with that fact for quite some time.
But I am a dork with goals. I am trying to acquire an autograph of every person to play an inning for my favorite team, the Baltimore Orioles. I will be sharing the trials and tribulations of card collecting, stories from players and my thoughts on the hobby. I will try to be as entertaining as possible and hopefully you can watch me attain my goal.
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

A Few Gaines This Week
The end of this week brought three new additions to my collection, Mike Epstein, Joe Gaines and Elliott Maddox. Gaines gave me a few extra signed postcards for good measure and all cards took a week to come back.
Hey Potzie,
ReplyDeleteI still need Maddox. Is there anything that you had to do to get his card signed? What about Epstein? Did you get them TTM?
Both players I got TTM. Epstein was $5 and Maddox was $5 cash. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, $5 CASH wonder if he claims it on his taxes???? lol
