TCDB Members,
Over this past weekend, I went over the 9,000-card mark for my Baltimore Orioles team collection. I spent a few hours digging through the bins at my local flea market card stand and pulled a little over 300 Orioles cards that I didn't have. Not that I pay attention to it, but I'm #24 on the list for the number of Orioles cards in a collection. Look out, BaltOrioles, I'm catching up!!! LOL!!!
A big thank you to all that have sent Orioles cards my way in trades, especially those who have sent Cal Ripken Jr. cards. If I had a player collection, it would be Cal Ripken Jr..
My chase card is still the 1957 Topps #328 Brooks Robinson RC, but that's another story, maybe it'll be part of the 10,000 Orioles cards mark.
THANK YOU!
(CORRECTION EDIT: That should have been "I'm #14 on the list for the number of Orioles cards in a collection.")

HAPPY COLLECTING!!! - Baltimore Orioles, Washington Capitals, Baltimore Ravens, and a few Baltimore Colts.
- 1954-2024 Topps baseball sets, including updates. I'm on a mission to complete Topps sets, so no trade is too large! Here is my Topps Set Completion Status List.
- I have 50,900+ different cards listed for trade (I don't list multiples).

They say the first 9000 are the hardest. Congrats on the milestone.

Thank you! I think it's going to get tougher the more Orioles cards I obtain and the lower my want list gets. It doesn't help that I'm trying to complete Topps sets as well.

Thank you! BaltOrioles has 39,525 Orioles cards. That's quite a long way to go for me. I highly doubt I will get to THAT many Orioles cards in my collection. We'll see...

Congrats. Do you have a favorite? Mine is my 1967 Topps Brooks Robinson. The 7th series never came to Maine that year. I picked up Brooks at a card show in Nashua, NH a few years later for 50c. The dealer had 5-6 and I picked out the best one. Those days are gone. Never even thought to buy more than one. Good luck to 10,000. Go O's.
