While advances in technology have greatly helped me find items for my collection that I probably never would have found, it is eliminating some items that I truly love to collect. One of those are media guides.
The future of collecting media guides printed by teams is looking bleak. Each year more teams are converting to electronic media guides instead of printed copies. The Orioles stopped printing media guides after the 2018 issue.
While popular with fans, media guides are also a great source of information on a team's history.
The Aberdeen Ironbirds stopped printing media guides after 2014. I'm missing the 2002 and 2003 issues (will find them someday), but here are the Ironbirds media guides from 2004 - 2014.
