One of the few things that could arguably be as American as baseball is the comic book, and in Baltimore it looks like the two will be presented on equal footing sooner than later. Steve Geppi’s announced a possible deal to open a comic book museum full of his personal collection at Camden Yards, the home of the Baltimore Orioles. In addition to his insane amount of original comic art and vintage books, Geppi’s collection would also display classic toys, paintings and animation cels.

The Maryland Stadium Authority voted yesterday to lease space in Camden Station to Orioles minority owner Steve Geppi for a comic book and pop culture museum.

Geppi’s Entertainment Museum would occupy part of the second and third floors at the building, above the recently opened Sports Legends at Camden Yards museum.

In a statement released yesterday, Geppi said it would be premature to announce the museum as a done deal but called the project a “long-time dream.”

Geppi’s museum would be a welcome addition to Camden Station, said Mike Gibbons, executive director of the Sports Legends museum.

“I think this really can help establish Camden Yards as a full-day destination for tourists,” he said.
