Hey everyone, mods feel free to move if this is off topic.

I used to collect a lot of cards, mainly Cal Ripken, but others as well. My son is now interested in getting into cards. I’m looking for the best way, other than eBay type sites, to acquire Orioles cards, and when he wants general packs of cards if there’s some packs that are better than others?

And if there are any members who are looking to pass along cards to a young collector please reach out.

I will keep this in mind. I live a long way from where I grew up, but at the family home I still have thousands and thousands of cards, mostly 1979-1998. Most aren’t worth that much since the market caved years ago(other than the odd Murray or Ripken rookies), so I would be happy to donate some cards.

I have a ton of Orioles cards and memorabilia, including cards, balls, autographs of all the greats (Ripken, Murray, Brooks, Palmer, Weaver, Robinson)).  It was my hobby for 20 years and mostly focused on Orioles stuff since I grew up in MD.  I asked Tony if there was a place I could offer these items as I think they would be better in the homes of active Oriole fans.  If anyone is interested in some great stuff, then please let me know as I'd love to put these items on display on this site, many of which I got from Roy Firestone.

I sent both you and @scarey1999 a note, appreciate the potential help.

      Wild card series roll call

      By SteveA · Posted

      So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.
