I no longer have the record player, but found this picture online. I think the record players must have come in multiple colors, because I remember mine being blue. You received 4 records in the original box and could purchase additional packs of records.

The only Oriole I'm aware of was Frank Robinson. If I remember right, his 500th HR was the highlight. The records came in two variations, a single sided record and a much harder to find double sided version.
Those are very cool, but I especially like the Frank Robinson proof. Very unique piece.
