A Boog Powell collection would rock.

Wieters if someone held a gun to my head and said I had to collect a current Oriole. Oh, the horror!

Collect both and find out which one you prefer to collect. I started collecting Eric Chavez and Ben Grieve at the same time and ultimately decided on Chavez. Having someone tell you who to collector or not collect doesn't seem like a good formula for enjoyment or long term player collecting.

No one will have a chance of getting a rainbow of Nolan Riemold... :lol:

For low-dollars, go for Adam Jones...
Wieters is always expensive. Buy now or offseason or else who knows he will improve his skills next year...

Why not start on Chris Tillman? Brian Matusz? Josh Bell? Nick Markakis (I think Markakis8 will hate me for saying that!)

Good knowing that there's another O's collector out there!

Boog Powell would be interesting...Was leaning more towards Reimold than Weiters

Thought of Tillman...but Markakis I will pass!

^This^...the fun of player collecting to me is because of the way I connect to the player. Growing up watching ED play he quickly turned to my favorite player. I changed positions from SS to CF in Little League based solely on playing the same position as him.

I've since tried to start other player collections, but just can't get the same excitement as I do when I haul an ED card I don't have. So, I recommend finding that player that you really enjoy watching play and go with it...good luck!

Just to let you know that I have the Nolan Reimold 2005 Bowman Chrome RC Superfractor 1/1 and the Red Refractor 1/1. Will scan them tomorrow for you.

I have not collected any of his recent Reimold cards such as 2009 Bowman Chrome Auto. They are HOT!!!

Good luck, and let me (or Russ S or Markakis8) know if you have any questions on any O's players / cards... I believe there's another collector but I forgot the name...

ive told myself im not going after any 1/1's unless its a good deal. im not going to stress myself out like i did with my Blalock collection. I bid on your Gold PSA 10 you just sold but obviously lost. :(

Would love to see those scans.

Well since seems there are collecters of Nolan and Matt....Think I will do both Boog Powell and Tillman

When you can get sweet stuff like this for $1 on eBay - how can you go wrong??? Start a "Boog Blog" and keep us updated on your progress!
