Hello everyone, I am trying to find the Bluefield Orioles 1979 baseball card for Kyle Hawthorne. I am very new to this, and trying to find my father-in-law's rookie baseball card for his birthday. Can anyone help me identify good places to look, who to talk to, or any other resources that might be helpful? Thanks so much in advance and fingers crossed!

I don't think there was a 1979 Bluefield set. Unfortunately, I don't think there was a set for the 1980 Miami Orioles, either. If you have any photos, you might be able to get someone to make you a custom in the style of a 1979 TCMA card. Edited on: Sep 14, 2023 - 2:12PM

Bummer, but completely understand. Is there anywhere that I can definitively check that there wasn't a deck made? Also, when you say TCMA card, what does that acronym stand for? Any recommendations on custom card places? I will certainly be trying to create one!

TCMA was the name of the card company that was making minor leagues sets back then. They are no longer in business.

Note: Please see my profile for more info regarding trading (section updated 10/25/2023). I have added a large portion of my inventory to the site, and currently have trading turned off (details are in my profile). I have (finally) unearthed my 2 very large boxes of Star Company minor league sets and they are available (email for details).
