Correction to the Quest

While communicating with a few other collectors pursuing the 1991 Orioles Crown set we came to a conclusion, our collections will never be complete. Aside from the stubborn Albie Pearson and Hank Foiles refusing to sign this specific set, there were a few Orioles to pass away before the printing of the cards.

I knew there were a few but didn't think the final count would come to 36. With these statistics my goal of collecting signed versions of all 501 cards is impossible. I am not scrapping the whole idea, just tweaking the numbers. And no I didn't work for Enron. The total cards possible in the set is actually 465.

Here is a list of the Orioles who passed before they were commemorated in this set.
