Orioles Topps needsby Tscastle - 68 cards (Last updated on Dec 18, 2023) |
Two moves and 3 high school and college graduations later (my daughters, not me), in late 2020, a new card shopped opened about 5 minutes from my house. A few months later I found this site, and I started to dive back in. My first goal was to fill in blank years, which many were done by purchasing team sets for the year.
By January 2022 I was down to 68 cards I needed, so I created this list. In two years with tremendous assistance from many members here, as well as some great local merchants, both at 2 LCS’s and local card shows, I have completed my Topps Orioles (base set) collection from 1954 - 2022. (Adding each new year should be easier - just need 5 update cards for 2023).
Received 68 of 68 to date. Trades from tinyzinterfere, CubinSTLsets, plevin, MattnMiller, ccook, Johnsogr, Sandycoach, doublee919, Puma1125, StLMike, Ymmat, metscardboard, bobberkill, glassnickels, vrooomed, jimetal7212, a PIF from FiresNBeers, a contest prize package from vrooomed, purchases at 2 of my LCS’s, 2 local card shows and purchases from tbart19 and jfcard. Finished off with 3 from eBay.
