I purchased this from 16goldgloves, which is Brooks' companies eBay user ID, a few years ago. Most of the items they put up are recently signed even though some of the pieces are older items. Wish they wouldn't do that, but they do. Personally I like the vintage items unsigned and/or signed during the time frame of the piece.

It's a hard one to place for sure. I was thinking it was a point of sale piece for pf flyers too, but I have never seen brooksie on their material before. You would think they would have used him more if he was. The ads I have seen are just the common ones like in this HA auction.

Good luck on the mystery!
