For many years, the Norfolk Tides had a photo giveaway on selected Sundays throughout the season. The promotion started while the Tides were a Mets affiliate and continued when the Orioles came to town in 2007. Unfortunately, the Tides discontinued the promotion in 2019.
The photos are 9x12 and on thicker poster paper. The backs have stats and bio of player. There were usually 4000 passed out at each game and the featured player was available to sign them before the game. I really like them a lot. There were 8 photos per year from 2007-2017, but only 5 photos in 2018. Through a connection at the Tides, I have been able to get 86 out of the 93 photos from the time the Tides started with the Orioles. I would love to complete the sets.
Here are samples and checklists from each year
