This poster is 22 inches by 28 inches on normal paper. It is a bit worn but I have never seen another one “poster size.” There is a smaller version that appeared in magazines. This poster is advertising the Rawlings XPG 17 edge-u-cated heel, basket-web, double “S” pocket, deep well pocket and hinged pad baseball glove. At the bottom, it mentions the GJ58 glove with many of the same characteristics. There is a reference available I believe that lists the player and the gloves he used by year. I wish I had the list for Brooks. If I find it, I will share.

I’m with you; I have never seen another advertising poster like the one you’ve pictured. Get that on the wall… That’s a very cool photo they used for the ad and like how they used his hand/glove fielding position to picture the glove they are advertising.
