If I had to pick a favorite, I'd probably go with the 1960 Topps 28 Brooks Robinson . I love the look of the 1960 set. The only thing about the '60 Brooks card is I wish the image of him on the left in the red was a little higher or larger. There's a lot of empty space above his head. That's the graphic designer part of me talking. LOL!!!

I created a list of favorites in my collection: https://www.tcdb.com/List.cfm/lid/13647/Favorite-Orioles-Cards

Wow, $.50 a Brooks card. Congrats on being at the top of the Orioles collectors list with 39,525 cards. That's quite an accomplishment!

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.

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 50,800+ different cards listed for trade (I don't list multiples).

AAARRT,

Thank you! I think you will beat me to 10K cards of our respective teams. I'm also trying to complete Topps sets which has populated my want list with cards other than Orioles cards. I have 2,774 Orioles wants as opposed to 6,891 Topps set wants. Neither is really a focus.

You may be thinking of TwinKiller? I remember seeing a 5,000 Twins card post. I love seeing milestone posts like this. This site is awesome.

Good luck on your quest to obtain every SF Giants card on the planet!

Very cool. I remember when you posted you hit 7000 Oriole cards. Nice progress. I just hit 7000 SF Giants cards so I know I have quite aways to go to get my goal of 10K. I have a feeling you will beat me to 10K but we'll see. Good luck!!

It was someone posting that they hit 5000 Minnesota Twins cards that got me motivated to reach 5000 Giants cards myself. I thought that would be a fun goal. Don't remember who it was but thank you. I have had a blast. I think these forum postings really inspire, motivate or just pat people in this community on the back. Very cool.
