1954 Baltimore Orioles Team Issue Set
Day 343 – 8 December 2024
I am a huge fan of Baltimore Orioles team issued post cards and photos. A couple years ago I found the 1954 Team Issue base set 6 in X 9 in photos. This set includes 25 players. Later, I realized there was an update set that included 8 players. This set included Cal Abrams, Jim Brideweser, Bob Chakales, Clint Courtney, Jim Fridley, Ray Murray, Billy O’Dell and Eddie Waitkus. I have looked almost daily for these and always do the same at shows. Recently on Ebay, I found an auction with 21 older photos and put a bid in and forgot about it and won. I did not really look to hard until it arrived in the mail. I then realized it was from 1954. I looked at the photos with my check list and slowly realized one by one, I stumbled on the 8 player update set. I was very excited to check each one off. The best part of this discovery is I paid $8.99 plus $8.00 shipping for the 8 player update set and 13 of the 25 players in the base set. Included is a photo of the 8 player update set.
