Quiet on the Brooks page…Big 8 Rawlings Box
Posted this on FB and thought to add here. In 1964 Rawlings marketed and sold the Big 8 Glove, which came in the below box. Not perfect, but it is 60 years old. This box is very rare. This box has been on my list for years. What I did not know, the 4 player panel comes on both sides. Like the name, there are 8 players on the box. Brooks Robinson anchors the one 4 player panel and Mickey Mantle the other one. PSA grades both the individual hand cut card and the 4 player panels. I have the Brooks Robinson panel graded and the hand cut card. Additionally, Rawlings featured the players on a larger photo to include a Brooks and Mantle variation and Boyer variation. Wanted to share a picture of this amazing box!
