Orioles fans, maybe you can help?

In 1994, the Orioles released a set of cards with a "game day program"....

According to Beckett:

"This 108-card set includes all current and minor league players in the Baltimore Orioles' organization. The set was issued in twelve nine-card perforated sheets, with each sheet issued in game day programs which sold for 3.00. Reportedly only 21,000 of each unperforated sheet were produced. Each 7 1/2" by 10 1/2" sheet consists of nine standard-size cards. The cards are unnumbered and checklisted below in alphabetical order."


Beckett doesn't name the "game day program", but lookong at Ebay, I see an Orioles publication entitled "Outside Pitch". Is THAT the game day program being referenced?


The set has an early card of Scott McClain (#60 in the set) that I need.

No.....Outside Pitch was an independent publication that was sold outside the stadium and was not the "official" program sold inside (which housed those mini cards).

The Official program was entitled "Orioles Magazine" and I believe there were 3 editions of it during the strike shortened season

Thanks. Did they issue a different sheet per week? If they managed to get 12 sheets out, it seems like they'd have to.

I have to check but I believe there were new sheets of cards with each edition of the program (not per week or Home Stand)
