Mr. 30,000

I've been blessed with a few Dodgers-centric packages in the last month.
They're most appreciated because I get distracted with other non-Dodger
things ...

My goal is to eventually have a signed Orioles baseball card of every modern era player to have played in a game for my favorite team. When they do not have a card in an O's uniform or any card at all, I will try to get any autograph available. The project is huge and might be impossible to complete, but hey, it sounds like fun to me!

Luke Scott?
I'm so conflicted by Chicle myself. So much potential, so many beautiful cards and then you get some that are just horrible. I'd like to see them continue this release in 2011 once they get the kinks worked out though
I was thinking Garrett Atkins.
I don't know the looks of too many Orioles, so I'm really going to guess and say Ty Wigginton.
Chicle is a tough one to figure out. The wide fluctuations in drawings sort of interest me. But I haven't seen it in person so I'm not going to make a final judgment until then.
After looking again, I'm thinking it's Reimold. I have no clue why. Just a wild guess.
By looking at it, it looks like Nolan Reimold, by the way he is running
I have to say Atkins.
But thinking of the Chipper Ruth...
...it must be Ripken.
I'll pick someone different and go with Markakis.
Dangit I was going to pick Zarkakis before I saw Zman had already done so. I'll go with Brian Roberts instead.
I say Reimold.
He looks a bit like Jeff Francoeur to me, but that might be my Met bias creeping in. Plus, he should not be wearing an Os uni.
I agree with all the Reimold guesses. I think he has wears the same black wrist band and elbow pad/sleeve that is shown here.
Everyone had some great guesses. I think that the card looks more like Francoeur than any Orioles player, good call Brooklyn Met!
But some of you guys really know your Orioles, Nolan Reimold is correct. I think that the painting captures his running style much better than his facial features. Maybe they should have had different artists draw different parts of the card?
Overall, I don't know about the set. I will have to buy a few packs to check it out in person, but this card really bothered me.
Maybe the artist wanted Francoeur but some other artist took him first, and he/she just decided to depict Francoeur in an O's uni on a Nolan Reimold card. Sounds like something some artsy person might do.
Hey Ryan, I emailed you about a Zach Britton. I have 3 guys off of your need list.
Thanks,
Paul
