Any Orioles pictured on those? I remember having a ton of those when I was young (probably not really baseball related). If I can recall correctly I believe they were mostly dinosaurs.

Bill,

Do you happen to have this one? I picked it up years ago just because I liked the look...

Here are a few pieces related to the 1966 Orioles. First is an invitation to an Open House with a watch party of highlights from the previous World Series. Since the party is in January 1966, that means it's Twins-Dodgers highlights. I'd love to find an invitation to the January 1967 party.

Second is a letter and envelope for a person receiving their tickets to the 1966 World Series.

This thread is really good! Keep it up! Lots of good stuff posted today. I love to wake up every morning and see what Mark has already posted for the day. Nice seeing so much more than cards.

Man; now that is a great looking pin-back. I don't believe I've ever seen that particular early Orioles example before. I only have the one that I've seen a few times; believe there are different sizes as well.

Day 29 (January 29, 2020 – 029)

Brooks Robinson Sporting Goods Company, Inc. was one of the businesses Brooks was involved in during his career. This is a patch from that time frame when the company was doing well.

I think it’s cool that it mentions on Brooks’ 1974 Topps #160 card that “Brooks has an interest in a sporting goods store” as part of the cartoon on the back. I personally like the look of the O-PEE-CHEE card a little better, so I’ll picture the front/back of the OPC and just the back of the Topps.

I love items like these. Plus you have the original mailing envelope; so cool. Thanks so much for sharing these two items.
