I'M DRAGGING TODAY AND NEED AN EASY POST SO HERE'S ANOTHER TEAM FROM THE BULLSHIT BLASTER. TODAY WE GOT THE ORIOLES. THERE'S 84 CARDS IN THE PILE MAKING IT ONE OF THE LARGER TEAM LOTS. DOES THAT MEAN THERE'S ANYTHING GOOD? LET'S FIND OUT
OFF TO A GOOD START WITH FOUR MORE CARDS FOR THE TOPPS TRADED SET. IT'S A NICE LITTLE GROUP OF PLAYERS TOO, PLUS CAL AND BILLY'S POP
1987 TOPPS TRADED COUNT: 20/132
THE 2002 PILE IS JUST AS GOOD AS WE HAVE A COMPLETE ORIOLES TEAM SET. THE 2001 O'S MUST HAVE BEEN PRETTY DIRE AS THE 'BIG' NAMES IN THERE ARE GUYS LIKE JEFF CONINE AND MELVIN MORA
2002 TOPPS COUNT: 127/718
THIS VAL MAJEWSKI DRAFT PICKS CARD IS NOT PART OF THE BASE SET BUT A BONUS IN RETAIL FACTORY SETS. THIS IS THE SECOND ONE OF THESE I'VE GOTTEN SO FAR AND IT'S REALLY MAKING ME THINK THIS BOX HAD THE PICKED OVER CORPSE OF A FACTORY SET. VAL PLAYED 9 GAMES FOR THE ORIOLES IN 2004 AND HAD A TON OF DRAFT PICKS CARDS IN 2002
1989 BILLY RIPKEN! WRONG BRAND
ANOTHER BILLY RIPKEN! WRONG YEAR AND BRAND. I HAD TO SHOW OFF THE CAMERA ON THIS CARD THOUGH. YOU THINK BILLY IS SHOOTING BEAVER WITH THAT THING?
ARTHUR RHODES STAR ROOKIE CARD. RHODES THREW 900 GAMES IN THE BIGS, ONLY 25 PITCHERS HAVE MORE THAN THAT. SADLY THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL ROOKIE CARD, THANKS BOWMAN
THE TWO TEAM CARDS IN THE PILE GIVE US AN INSIGHT ON EXACTLY WHEN ROGUE OUTFIELD WALLS STARTED PHOTOBOMBING TEAM PHOTOGRAPHS. TOPPS CAN BE SO WEIRD SOMETIMES
ANOTHER GREAT RELIEF PITCHER ROOKIE-ISH CARD. I LIKE THAT THE ORIOLES ORANGE BORDER WORKS SO WELL WITH THE AUBURN UNIFORM
AAAAND HERE'S ALL THE REST. THE ORIOLES LOT WAS MORE ABOUT QUANTITY THAN QUALITY. NO PACIFIC, NO SHINIES, AND OTHER THAN THE 2002-03 TOPPS, NOTHING BUT JUNK. DID I NEED ANY OF THE JUNK? NOPE. OH WELL THEY CAN'T ALL BE WINNERS. AT LEAST THE 1987 AND 2002 BOATCHES WERE REALLY GOOD.
