Very cool, Scott. I remember the slogan but not the pen. Thanks for sharing.

Baltimore Orioles 1976 Photo Pennant
 

Day 280 – 7 October 2024
Here is the 1976 Orioles Photo Pennant, which includes Reggie Jackson. The orange uniforms are awesome.

Baltimore Orioles Pennant 1977
 

Day 281 – 8 October 2024
The 1977 Oriole Photo Pennant is the last one to feature Brooks Robinson.

Baltimore Orioles 1979 Pennants
 

Day 282 – 9 October 2024
Today I am showing a couple 1979 Oriole Pennants. The bottom one mistakenly refers to the Orioles as the World Champions. I attended Game 6 at Memorial Stadium suffering through that miserable loss. The top Pennant I really like with the Pirates and Orioles celebrating the WS.

Day 283 – 10 October 2024
Today I am sharing a few more Oriole Pennants. These are from the 1983 WS Champion Orioles. At the bottom, the Pennant Celebrates the Orioles as the World Champions. The next one, in white Celebrates the 1983 Playoffs between the Orioles and the White Sox, listing both team players names. The middle pennant list the Orioles Players as the World Champs. The Orange Pennant celebrates the WS Champs showing our manager (Joe Altobelli)…always made me sad that Earl Weaver did not get credit for this Championship. The top Pennant is white and lists the players names celebrating the Orioles as the AL Champs and playing in the WS.

Baltimore Orioles Random Pennants 1960s - 1980s
 

Day 284 – 11 October 2024
Almost done with the Pennants. Today I am showing a few random Pennants I have from the 1960s – 1980s. On the left are two I really like featuring the National Anthem “O” part we all participate in while attending a game with the Orioles. The other ones are from various Playoffs or the Stadium. I really like the “Why Not” 1989 pennant coming off the 1988 107 loss season.

Baltimore Orioles Smaller Pennants
 

Day 285 – 12 October 2024
Finally…the end of my pennant run. Today, I am showing you some pennants from the 1960s – early 2000 smaller pennants.

Baltimore Orioles - Jackson Holiday
 

Day 286 – 13 October 2024
For my birthday this year, my daughters set up a meet and greet with one of our newest Orioles, Jackson Holliday. Jackson and I took a picture and he signed a ball. He was very nice, handled himself like someone older, gracious, humble, bigger than I thought and looks as young in person as on TV. We met him at Jimmy’s Seafood in Baltimore. Only half of this post is Vintage…sorry!

Great photo Charlie! I'm hoping that Jackson has a bounce back season in '25.

I was at the game where he got his first MLB hit back in April and after the game the PA announcer gave me the sheet she uses to read the lineups (Holliday singled in the 7th)

Attachment 637440

Very cool, Bill. I need your connections. Thanks for sharing. I too hope he has a great 2025. We need him!

Day 287 – 14 October 2024
Today I am showing you a poster from the late 1960s or early 1970s. The poster is White with Purple and Orange sponsored by National Beer. I have not seen another copy but I do not think it is really rare. I always loved hearing “Charge” and enjoy the Orange and Purple colors.

1969 Rochester Red Wings Bank
 

Day 288 – 15 October 2024
Earlier, I showed you a Orioles version of this bank. The one today I am showing you is from 1969. Instead of the Orioles, this is a version from their affiliate minor league club in New York. This is the Rochester Red Wings ceramic coin bank. The banks were issued between 1969-1970 by Wyatt, Dunnigan, and Williams Inc as a customer promo item for various local banks. The minor league versions are very hard to find. I have never seen one before. The Red Wings were the Orioles International League AAA affiliate of the Orioles from 1961-2002. The bank is in great shape and says Bankers Trust Company of Rochester.

Orioles
 

Some very cool items you’ve been posting. I’m sure it was a great experience meeting Jackson and getting an item signed by him. Also, that’s a great photo of you two.

The Orioles National Beer poster is a nice item especially since it has both the Orange and the Purple colors which was even before the Ravens came to town. Of course the large “CHARGE” adds to the overall aesthetics.

I’ve never seen a Red Wings head bank before. That is very nice and has to be really rare.

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful collection.

Thanks, Mark!

2024 FOCO Brooks Robinson Bobblehead (1970 WS)
 

Day 289 – 16 October 2024
I am happy to show my new Brooks Robinson Bobblehead from FOCO part of the Cooperstown Collection. This one shows Brooksie holding a Trophy as the Outstanding WS Player for 1970. At the bottom it has 1970 World Series Most Valuable Player and his name below. On the back it shows the 1970 Orioles Emblem with his stats at the bottom (5 games, 9 hits, 2 HR, 6 RBIs and .429 average) but sadly no mention of his glove work, which was amazing. The bobblehead is numbered on the bottom as 118 of 144 produced.

Hi guys,

We made it to Sarasota for the winter. A lot of tree damage in the area around Ed Smith Stadium, but our apartment escaped any real damage.

Many of you know my love for Orioles minor league affiliate items, especially programs. Unfortunately, the Norfolk Tides and Aberdeen Ironbirds are no longer printing programs for their games. They do have scoresheets available at the games, but they're not the same as a program. The BaySox and Shorebirds still do 6-10 programs per season.

One of my collecting goals is to put together a run of programs from all the Orioles affiliates since 1954.

I know many of you, that follow this thread, are from the Maryland & Virginia areas. I know this is a long shot, but hoping some of you might have some old programs kicking around that you don't mind parting with. I probably have 1500+ different O's minor league programs from 1954-present, but still missing a few from the early 2000's.

Here's a list of teams and dates I need to complete a few runs. I'm willing to purchase, even if you only have one off the list. Probably not much value, except to me. Thanks in advance for any help.

Baltimore Orioles “Plates”
 

Day 290 – 17 October 2024
Recently added some State Plates to my License Plate Collection featuring the Orioles. The additions include the Nebraska “Oriolz” and Kansas “Oriole” plates. I believe I have shown the other ones before that include from the left top small black and orange Orioles plate which is pretty rare, to the right top 1954 Baltimore Orioles plate (this one is pretty rare and very nice), smaller 1966 World Champions plate, It Can be Done in 61 plate (my favorite and impossible to find) and the small Oriole plate, 1983 WS Champions plate and the other two below it. If anyone has any plates they are tired of, give me a yell.

Baltimore Orioles Game Ball 18 September 2024
 

Day 291 – 18 October 2024
I was at the Orioles – Giants game on 18 September 2024 and lucked into this ball. It was the 7th inning and Gunnar Henderson fielded a hard hit ball by the Giants catcher Curt Casali and scopped it up and brilliantly threw it to Ryan O’Hearn on first for the third out in the 4th inning. O’Hearn then threw the ball over the net into the crowd. I had my phone in my hand and stood up and down came the ball into my hand with the phone…I bobbled it but caught it with the other hand as it nearly escaped me. I still have my soft hands like Brooksie I guess. Ha. My daughter was impressed and got some compliments around me. Pretty cool to get a fielded ball by Gunnar. Sadly, we lost 5-3 but had a nice evening despite the loss.

Day 292 – 19 October 2024
For the next week or so, I thought to share my World Series and ALCS / Play Off Programs and Tickets. Today I am showing you the Program and Tickets for Game 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the 1966 World Series with the LA Dodgers and Charm Cities Baltimore Orioles. There are Phantom tickets out there as well. Everyone knows how we did here. Orioles won 4 – 0 against the Dodgers. The WS MVP was also the AL MVP, Mr. Frank Robinson.

Baltimore Orioles 1969 ALCS and World Series Programs and Tickets
 

Day 293 – 20 October 2024
In 1969, MLB started a Championship Series. The Orioles played the Twins and won 3 games to 0. I am showing you the Program and Tickets for Games 1 and 2 of the ALCS. I am not familiar with the ALCS having a MVP. For whatever reason, I can’t seem to find a ticket for Game 3…always looking! The Orioles faced the Mets in the WS and lost 4 games to 1. The Program and tickets for the 5 games are shown. A Temporary Center Field Pavilion Ticket is also shown.

Baltimore Orioles Memorial Stadium Aisle Markers
 

I found a few more Memorial Stadium Aisle Markers. Recently added#12,#16 and # 18. I found a extra #11 if anyone has one to trade. Always looking for more if anyone has one to sell or trade. Plenty of extra Oriole items to work with.

Baltimore Orioles 1970 Playoffs / ALCS &World Series Program / Tickets
 

Day 294 – 21 October 2024
In 1970, the Orioles faced the Twins again in the ALCS. The Orioles won again 3 games to 0. I am showing you the two Programs for the ALCS and Tickets for Games 1 and 3. I can’t seem to find a ticket for Game 2. The Orioles faced the Reds in the WS and won 4 games to 1. I am showing you the Program and Tickets for all 5 games played. Brooks won the WS MVP.

Charlie,

I've been enjoying your Orioles World Series and Playoff programs the last few days. I think it's a shame the Orioles no longer print programs, especially considering they've been in the postseason the last couple years. Programs and tickets are some of the best collectibles from a game.

The 1960's and 70's produced a wide variety of programs during the Playoffs and World Series.

Here's seven additional programs from the 1966 World Series, the edition from Memorial Stadium plus six miscellaneous programs issued by newspapers and others. Most of these aren't too hard to find. The Equitable Trust scorecard is probably the toughest to locate.

1971 Baltimore Orioles Playoffs/ALCS and World Series Tickets and Programs
 

Day 295 – 22 October 2024
In 1971, the Orioles made the ALCS for the 3d straight year facing the Oakland Athletics. As done in the past 2 years, the Orioles swept their opponent; 1971 it was the Athletics 3 games to 0. Today I am showing you the two programs and tickets for Games 1, 2 and 3 of the ALCS. The Orioles played the Pirates in the WS and lost 4 games to 3. Clemente played his heart out.
Today, I am showing you the Orioles Program and Tickets for Games 1 – 7.

Here's a few more programs & scorecards from the 1971 World Series vs the Orioles & Pirates.

Hi, Alan. Thanks for adding the score cards and other programs. I have a few of your adds but see some things I have not seen before. Very nice.

Programs & Tickets
 

Charlie,

Really enjoying the section on programs and tickets. While I have a few of both I haven’t really delved into trying to obtain all the variations, but seeing them it makes me want to add them. Thanks for sharing.

Alan,

There’s definitely some of the programs you’ve posted that I’ve never seen before. Cool to know that they are out there and really nice to view. Appreciate the post.

I just saw where former Orioles pitcher, Fernando Valenzuela, has pasted away at 63. Valenzuela is best known for pitching for the Dodgers, but spent the 1993 season with the Orioles, going 8-10.

Here are his team issued 8x10 photo and postcards from 1993.

Day 296 – 23 October 2024
In 1973, the Orioles made the post season again, but did not have the same luck in the ALCS as in the past. They lost to the Oakland Athletics 3 games to 2. I am showing you the Programs and Tickets for the 5 games.

Baltimore Orioles Bumper Sticker
 

Missed out on this bumper sticker on eBay. Anyone have one for sale or trade.

Baltimore Orioles Playoff / ALCS Program and Tickets
 

Day 297 – 24 October 2024
In 1974, the Orioles would face the Athletics again and lose 3 games to 1. Today I am showing you the Program and tickets for games 1, 2 and 4. I can’t seem to find Game 3 Ticket. The Orioles had some success with the Athletics but the ALCS in 1973 and 1974 went the other direction.

difficult week for Orioles alumni as I heard first thing this AM that LHP Rudy May passed away. Rudy came over from the Yankees in that blockbuster trade during the 1976 season and ended up winning 29 games for the Orioles before being trading to Montreal....

a couple years ago I posted an Orioles game worn Rudy May warm up jacket that I was fortunate to acquire...

RIP Rudy

1979 Baltimore Orioles ALCS and World Series Program and Tickets
 

Day 298 – 25 October 2024
In 1979, the Orioles faced the California Angles in the ALCS. They would win 3 games to 1. I am showing you the program and tickets for the four games. The Orioles would again meet the Pirates in the WS and lose 4 games to 3. I had the pleasure of attending game 6 but the Orioles decided to lose and not allow me to storm the field. What a sad game. I am showing you all 7 tickets and the Program.

1983 Baltimore Orioles Play Off / ALCS and World Series Program and Tickets
 

Day 299 – 26 October 2024
In 1983, the Orioles returned to the post season without their HoF skipper, Earl Weaver. The Orioles would win the ALCS against the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox won game 1 but lost the next 3 against the Orioles. I am showing you the 4 tickets and Program. The Orioles would then play the Phillies in the WS where they would win in 5 games. Similar to the ALCS, the Phillies would win game 1 and the Orioles would win the next 4 games to win the Championship. Rick Dempsey was named as the WS MVP. I am showing you the WS program and 5 tickets.

At one of those Reading (PA) Hot Stover banquets we discussed in an earlier post, I had '79 WS MVP Willie Stargell sign my program (it actually came out good).....

and some signed/inscribed 1983 post season tickets:

1973 Topps Candy Lids Set
 

Day 300 – 27 October 2024
As a baseball card / odd ball collector I have tried to collect all sets that Brooks Robinson appears in. That is a crazy task. I have quite a few sets he appears in and have shown some on here (Net54). Today, I am excited to report I completed my 1973 Topps Candy Lids set. This set is a test issue with 55 different players printed on the bottom of a candy lid. This 1 7/8”diameter lid was included with each pack of Topps “Baseball Stars Bubble Gum” part of a small tub of candy-coated gum kernels. Each lid has a pull tab and is unnumbered. These were mainly tested on the East Coast with some light testing in the Midwest. I found Ryan, Munson and Jackson to be the hardest to find. The Mays, too, but surprisingly more available. I will likely upgrade a few still. Included are the 55 lids with my graded Brooks and the Brooks proof graded. Enjoy.

Nice set Charlie. Congrats!
What is that black and white Nolan Ryan next to the Pete Rose candy lid?

Alan and Bill, thanks for showing your keys and scorecard. Not sure I saw the 83 scorecard before.

Scott, sorry about that…just a photo copy insert in the book of the graded slab so i know I have it graded stored separately.

Day 301 – 28 October 2024
This is an update from a previous post where I showed you my collection of Gorsuch House Restaurant items. I previously showed you the framed items including the drink stirrers, menu, napkin, match book(s), business card, and pictures of both Eddie and Brooks Robinson. Today I am happy to show you my ash tray from the Gorsuch House. I really like the orange face with the advertisement / restaurant information. This one eluded me for years but finally found it. Happy to put it on the top shelf in my curio cabinet with some of my favorite Brooks items.

That ashtray is definitely a toughie. I still have it on my want list…

Mark, agree on the ash tray. I wonder what else is out there.

1985 Greatest Moments Orioles Invite Post Card Signed
 

Day 302 – 29 October 2024
Today I am showing you a post card size post card to Ted Patterson inviting him to the Greatest Moment in Orioles History. There was a exhibition depicting the five greatest moments in modern Orioles history as selected by fans. The Exhibit was open during 21 Dec 85 – 6 Apr 86 at the Babe Ruth Birthplace / Orioles Museum on 216 Emory Street, Baltimore Maryland. I imagine this invite was for the Press Opening on 20 Dec 85. The front of the post card has a picture signed by Brooks, McNally and Etch celebrating the 1966 sweep of the Dodgers in the Fall Classic.

Cool postcard Charles! We should do a 5 greatest moments in Orioles history and share items related after you’ve completed your year of Brooksie.

Clint, sounds fun. I will research after done with the daily post.

Day 303 – 30 October 2024
Today I am showing you an updated post previously shown from the News American Paper celebrating Brooks Robinson’s induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The sign I showed previously. Today, I am adding the newspaper insert celebrating Brooks. The paper insert is 18 pages of information and pictures of Brooks with advertisements. The insert was provided on Sunday July, 13, 1983.

1976 Welches Amoco Baseball Cup Set
 

Day 304 – 31 October 2024
Today I am showing you the 30 cup set of the 1976 Welches Amoco Cup Set. This 30 cup set features Brooks Robinson and many other Hall of Fame Players. Unlike the 1972 and 1973 7-11 cups, this set does not provide any details about the players on the back. The hardest cups for me to find were Reggie Jackson and Tom Seaver. The picture provides an image of all the cups together with Brooksie at the top center!

1972 Slurpee 7-11 Baseball Cup Set with Checklist
 

Day 305 – 1 November 2024
I thought to also share my 1972 7-11 Cup Set. This set includes 60 different cups. The cup features a life like image of the player in color. On the back the cup includes a small biography of the player. The players name and team name are flush to the left on the backside of the cup and that is generally how you know this is the 1972 set. The font is a bit larger on the 1972 cup, too. There are 18 HoF players in this set including Brooks Robinson (Brooks appears 3D row, far right). 21 of the players in the 1972 set will appear in the 1973 set (some are the same while others were modified). The image shows the 60 different cups. I did my best to put them in alphabetical order. It took several attempts to stack these cups. I can still hear the noise they make when the stack of cups collapses. I also included the set checklist.

1973 Slurpee 7-11 Cups
 

Day 306 – 2 November 2024
My final cup set is the 1973 7-11 Cup Set. This set includes 80 different cups. The cup features a life like image of the player in color. On the back of the cup includes a small biography of the player. The bio is centered on the backside of the cup. This set includes 20 players in the hall of fame done mostly in gold and brown with a halo of black stars surrounding the players head. Some of the players in the 1973 set also appeared in the 1972 set. I started to stack these in alphabetical order but failed several times and had to add smaller stacks on both sides. Brooks Robinson appears on lace left, 2nd row, middle. Same photo as 1972. This took several attempts, too. That noise when the fall will never leave my mind! “No cups were hurt during this post!”

Great setup and photo for all your plastic cup collection.

Thanks, Mark. A testament to my collection illness.

Baltimore Orioles Stadium Signs
 

Day 307 – 3 November 2024
I thought to show some of my signs. The signs are mostly from Memorial Stadium telling you what section you are in. The larger sign top left hung on a memorial stadium directional sign. On the reverse side is a Colt emblem for the football season. The exit sign is from Memorial Stadium. The “336” sign is from OPACY. I really like the bottom “SEC 37 BB-2” sign from Memorial Stadium.

1969 Transogram Sets with Brooks Robinson
 

Day 308 – 4 November 2024
In 1969 a small box measuring 4 in. X 3 in. X 1.5 in. with a figurine, card and top panel was sold with MLB baseball players. The manufacturer of the box was Transogram, which started making toys in the early 1900s and was liquidated in 1971 after filing bankruptcy. Back to the box...the box is mostly yellow, the larger card is 2.5 in. X 3.5 in. with a small top panel card. Inside the box is a figurine protected by cellophane with a stadium blue or green background. You can open the top panel, which serves as a lid to pull the figurine out of the box. The figurine is fastened to a cardboard background from the bottom on a plastic base. The figurine represents the likeness of the player with a glove. The catchers are in a catching pose. Most of the other figurines are with the glove appearing to be throwing or fielding. Some slight variations in skin tone can be found, presumably to account for the different races of the players. The figurine bears little resemblance of the player. The team is spelled out on the front of the figurine with the number and name on the back of the jersey. The large card has has the players name and details about the player in black letters to include position, team, HT/WT, batting and throwing side, date and place of birth. The set of boxes include plenty of HoF’ers (Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Mantle, Yaz, Banks, Clemente, Mays, McCovey, Seaver, Gibson, and others). There are 3 Orioles in the 1969 Set (Frank and Brooks {see picture with the boxes, 6th row from top, middle} along with Dave McNally {5th row, second from left}). PSA will grade the folded box without the figurine, larger card and panel. The box was meant to be cut for the larger card. PSA is hard on grading. The large card must be cut outside of the dotted lines while the smaller panel must be cut outside of the black solid line. It is hard to find clean boxes intact without a Kmart or Montgomery Wards price tag on the box or other damage (i.e., creases, cellophane crushed, corner issues or loss of paper). I have been putting this set together for years and can’t seem to find the Tom Seaver (Mets) and Johnny Callison (Phillies). Today, I am showing you 58 of the 60 complete boxes, 58 of the large cards and 58 of the small cards or panels…in both cases I missing Callison and Seaver. I am not showing you each and every cut card and panel but they are there in the photo in my pages. I can’t imagine there are many examples as thorough as I am showing you today. I hope someday to find a Seaver and Callison complete box and the large and small cards to complete this set. I have a lot of extra boxes, cards and panels if anyone has a Callison or Seaver to trade or sell. Hope you enjoy the photos.

That is IMPRESSIVE!

Thanks, Mark. Took a bit and still need two.

1958 and 1959 Brooks Robinson Jay Publishing
 

Day 309 – 5 November 2024
Today I am showing you my Jay Publishing Brooks Robinson photos from 1958 and 1959. These have been on here before. Will show more in the coming days. In 1958 there were two sets of Jay Publishing photos referred to as Set 1 and Set 2. Brooks only appeared in Set 2. Each set included 12 different photos. Some of the photos or players appear to be the same in each of the two sets but the two sets are generally different. I have the complete Set 1 but missing most of the Set 2. If anyone has a extra Set 2 or Brooks from Set 2, I am interested.

1961 and 1962 Baltimore Orioles Team Issue Brooks Robinson
 

Day 310 – 6 November 2024
Today I am showing you the 1961 and 1962 Team Issued Stadium 5x7 photos. The 1961 is ungraded while the 1962 is graded. The 1962 photo according to PSA is referred to as “Sports Service.” Both sets include 12 player photos. I would like to find another Brooks for both sets if anyone has an extra.

Very happy to add a PSA 7 copy of El Tiante's 1965 Topps RC to my collection as he's named to the HOF ballot. It will be bittersweet if he is finally elected so soon after his passing, but great pitcher, great card, and great character!

Baltimore Orioles Brooks Robinson Jay Pub 1960 and 1961
 

Day 311 – 7 November 2024
Today I am showing you the 1960 and 1961 Jay Publishing Photos. PSA labels them in three year increments (1958-61). The copy of Brooks on the left is 1960 and is part of a 13 player set. The one on the right is from 1961 part of a 12 player set.

It was reported today that former Orioles LHP Don Ferrarese has passed away. Don pitched in 50 games with the Orioles from 1955-1958 (5-11 record) as well as being one of Brooks Robinson's roommates...

Also was the 4th oldest living Oriole at the time of his death (95 years old)

RIP Don:

1962 and 1963 Baltimore Orioles Brooks Robinson Jay Pub
 

Day 312 – 8 November 2024
Like yesterday, today I am showing you more Jay Pubs. Here is the 1962 and 1963 Jay Publishing Photos of Brooks Robinson. Both are part of a 12 player set. PSA labels these as 1962-1965.

1964 and 1965 Baltimore Orioles Team Issue Brooks Robinson
 

Day 313 – 9 November 2024
Today, I am showing you the 1964 Stadium Team Issue and 1965 Stadium Team Issue photos of Brooks Robinson. Both sets include 12 different players and the photos are completely different between the two years. I am looking for an extra of Brooks in each year if anyone has one. I am missing the 1963 Stadium Team Issue Photos which includes 12 players (two players appear with different cropping). If anyone has this set or the Brooks photo, please keep me in mind.

1964 and 1965 Jay Pub Baltimore Orioles Rooks Robinson
 

Day 314 – 10 November 2024
Continuing the Jay Publishing theme, today I am showing you the 1964 and 1965 Jay Publishing Photos. PSA labeled these as 1962-1965. Both sets include 12 different Orioles. This is the last run for Jay Publishing and the Orioles to include Brooks Robinson.

In 2022 I lent the Orioles some pieces for their Camden Yards 30th Anniversary display cases and as a 'thank you' they gave me one of the special logo signs...

Bill, very cool. I always enjoy those displays. I was thinking about approaching the Orioles about Brooks Locker. The way they have it decked out is not that impressive. Recently I noticed they moved the locker closer to the elevators near the trophies. It is not celebrated at all. Thanks for sharing.

I can't picture what the locker looks like off the top of my head, but from what I understand their next big celebration (other than the 30th Anniv. of 2131) will be in 2029 (75th Anniversary)..

I'm sure people who have been to Camden Yards (or Ed Smith Stadium) are familiar with these signs:

1967 and 1968 Baltimore Orioles Team Issue Brooks Robinson
 

Day 315 – 11 November 2024
Today, I am showing you the 1966 and 1967 Stadium Team Issue photos of Brooks. Both sets include 12 different players. If anyone has an extra Brooks from either year, keep me in mind. I tried to get these graded with PSA but they would not grade them.

1968 and 1969 Stadium Team Issue Baltimore Orioles Brooks Robinson
 

Day 316 – 12 November 2024
Today, I am showing you the 1968 and 1969 Stadium Team Issue photos. Both sets include 12 different players. I tried to get the 1968 graded by PSA but they would grade. I don’t believe they grade the 1969 anymore. The 1969 is the highest graded.

1971 F.R. Woods All Star Photo Pack Photo - Brooks Robinson
 

Day 317 – 13 November 2024
Today, I am showing you the 1971 F.R. Woods 4x7 All Star Photo of Brooks Robinson and 11 other players including HoF’ers Banks, Aaron, Killebrew, Bench, Seaver, McCovey, Mays, and Yaz. Appearing in this set with Brooks is Boog Powell, too. The other photo is the 5x7 1971/1975 Team Issue Stadium Photo. I am missing the 1971/75 Team Issue 6x9 Photo. If anyone has the 6x9 photo, I have a extra 5x7 for trade.

1971 / 75 Team Issue Brooks Robinson
 

Forgot to show my Brooksie 1971/75 Team Issue 5x7 with today’s post (13 November 2024). Also, including my PSA 10 F.R. Woods rooks Robinson.

1964 McNally and 1965 Palmer
 

Bought these as part of a group of Orioles Team issue postcards. I know the Palmer is scarce so wanted it encased. I listed each card as Team issued postcard and noted Year, but PSA just put Print on flip? Anyway happy they are protected.

Day 318 – 14 November 2024
Leaving the team issue and Jay Publishing behind, today I am showing you the 1973 Johnny Pro Stand Up Cards of Brooks Robinson. The set includes 25 different cards. Three players have 2 variation cards (Brooks, Palmer and Grich). My two Brooks Robinson cards (fielding and batting) are high graded (PSA 8 and 9).

Jonathan,

Nice looking postcards. I have a quick question about the Jim Palmer. I think your Palmer might be from 1966, not 1965. The Orioles used the same photo both years, but there's a couple differences.

In 1965, the postcards were 3 1/4" x 5 1/2". The 1966 postcards are 1/4" shorter, 3 1/4" x 5 1/4". Also, the gap above Palmer's hat is a little larger on the 1965. Does your Palmer have a postmark on back?

Your Palmer looks like one of my 1966 Palmer postcards, but could be a new 1965 variation.

Here's my 1965 and two 1966 Jim Palmer postcards for comparison.

I noticed that the amount of sleeve piping (is that piping?) visible in the lower right corner is also slightly different between the two years.

Alan, your attention to detail is amazing.
