Orioles Autographs Shown Through Topps Cards From 1954-2012

In a project that spiraled into something much larger than it was initially supposed to be, I present to you one autographed Topps card from every season of the Orioles' existence, except for 1996, '98 & '99. Not only was I not really collecting during those years, I apparently have almost no cards from that time period to get signed, so they are sadly missing from this collection.

I picked a different player from each year, not always the best representation for that season, but typically just the first one I came across for each year.

Whew...that was a lot of autographs, and probably my longest post ever. So on that note, I think I'm going to give myself a nice long break for Christmas. I think I deserve it, but even if I don't, I'm taking it anyway!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!
