I'm close to completely my Orioles team sets, but in addition to the 1968 Leader card, the 1967, 1971 and 1974 sets all have some hard to find cards that have eluded me.

Here's the OPC version of one of my favorite cards as a kid.

Alan, thanks for the Tony Arnold head shot (signed no less)! Do you collect the Topps Venezuelan cards too?
