Thanks Kirk!

I recently swung a trade with Kirk, who writes the Orioles autograph-centric Eutaw Street Cardboard blog, and added a few new orange uniform autographs to my collection.

Ahh, the glory of the orange uniform!

Thanks for the trade Kirk.

Thanks Kirk!

I recently completed a trade with Kirk, a fellow Orioles autograph collector who is behind Eutaw Street Cardboard. Here is my haul...

Not the most exciting autographed card ever of Robbie, but definitely an upgrade over my logos-removed Nabisco autographed card from the early '90s.

This card, with it's imperfect autograph, and rather boring posed shot, is almost perfect for my collection based on my feelings about Frank. You can click on my link above to find out how I feel. And if you clink the link to Kirk's site at the top, you can check out his side of the trade.

Welcoming Gregg to the Collection

Kevin Gregg was the final 2011 Orioles player who has an O's card that I didn't have signed.

He signed these for me at FanFest...

 

I ran into him at the Orioles Minor League complex on my Spring Training trip and he signed this card for me.

 

Later the same day that Kevin signed that Cubs card for me, I bought the 2011 Topps Orioles team set at the Orioles Team store at Ed Smith Stadium, and there was Kevin in an Orioles uniform, albeit in a photo-shopped picture. And since then, I haven't been able to get his autograph again.

Luckily Kirk over at Eutaw Street Cardboard got this card signed twice and was cool enough to trade me his double. Thanks Kirk, glad we could help each other out.

Willie Greene

A couple (or eight) months ago, Kirk over at Eutaw Street Cardboard posted a few cards that his brother, Todd, had sent him for his Orioles autograph collection. Apparently Todd collected autographs some years back, and they're now just taking up space at his place, so he sent some former Orioles Kirk's way. One of those former Birds was Willie Greene, and Todd just happened to have an extra Willie auto and sent it my way for a few bucks.

So here's my Willie Greene autograph. Willie played nine seasons in the Majors from 1992-2000, spending the first six and a half seasons with the Reds before jumping from the Orioles to the Blue Jays to the Cubbies at the end of his big league career. He played in all of 24 games for the O's at the end of the '98 season, typically coming in as a late inning defensive replacement. 

Thanks for the trade Kirk & Todd!
