Hi guys,

I just got back from my first spring training game since COVID shut everything down last spring.

I'm an Orioles fan and collector that loves more than just cards. A big part of my collection are programs, media guides, schedules, postcards and photos.

Over the past few years, the Orioles PR dept has continued to embrace electronic media to the disappointment of many O's collectors. First they scrapped printed media guides, then magnet skeds and yearbooks.

Now, at the game today, I was told that no more programs will be printed, that I could down load them to my phone. The plan is to eliminate them during the regular season also. They are also planning to eliminate player postcards after printing them each year since 1954.

I have Orioles spring training & regular season programs back to 1954. Has anyone else heard of teams going completely electronic and killing that segment of the hobby. Ticket collectors have already experienced my pain.
