Alan,

I have the Orioles Martin Family Night set, but unsure it’s complete. I have it packed away somewhere and since you pictured it earlier I wasn’t going to post it. I know I have the Brooksie, but it’s not in the greatest shape, but not bad.

Yaz game used home jersey from the Bay Sox. Glad to see Mike finally got his chance to become an everyday outfielder with the Giants. Good ballplayer, good kid and good bloodlines!

I forgot to tell you how much I liked the Yaz GU jersey when you posted it, but it's such a cool piece. Man, I'd love to see your whole room one day; the room looks awesome with all those great items that you have in your collection. Thanks for sharing this cool jersey.

Larry,

I’ve haven’t seen any others beside the 14 cards that Alan pictured. I know I don’t have any different ones.

Larry,

No 100% sure, but I believe it is complete. It's hard to know for sure unless
others show up.

Day 144 (May 23, 2020 – 144)

This poster was tough for me to get in nice shape when I first started to actively collect. I had one when I was young and moved it from location to location, space to space, at times the ceiling and finally in a cheap frame with a mat to cover all the tack holes. I guess when you’re young you don’t know, or aren’t smart enough, to use the same hole each time (or get it framed in the first place). I’m sure some of you guys know the search for items pre-internet was a daunting task. Anyway, once the internet (thanks Al) came along and then eBay I was “finally”, at long last able to find the poster in nice shape. I’m not sure why the Brooks poster is tough to find while many are a dime a dozen.

A publication by Maco Sportsman Series 1967 Baseball Guidebook that uses the same image as the 1968 Sports Illustrated poster.

One more item related is a postcard that pictures a painting by Arthur Miller which he uses the same photo as the SI poster (or at least a portion of it).

I’ve also pictured a Sports Collectors Digest (SCD) from May 23, 1977 with a photo of 1961-1962 Fleer basketball cards. Anyone want to wager a guess what this has to do with Brooks?

Back in the 80's, like most of you, my collection was built mainly by attending cards shows. I was at show in 1984 or 85 and a guy was selling hand painted figures of players. They are about 7" tall on a white base. He had gotten the players to sign the base. While the likeness of the player varied, I thought they were cool. I think he was selling them for around $10 each. He had three Orioles and I think I got the three for $25. I wish I knew who the dealer was, but didn't take the time to ask more about his figures

The three included two Cal Ripkens (home & away) and an Eddie Murray (sorry for the glare on the photos, I was too lazy to take them out of the display case).
I think Eddie looks a little more like him than Cal.

The 1968 Poster is very tough to find in nice shape like Mark stated. it took me a while to find a nice one!
Don’t forget the 69 Nanisco cards used that same image. If anyone collects 68 posters in BAD shape I have a few to move.... I may have Marks poster from childhood ... folds, crease, pinholes, and scotch tape !

One of the largest game used jersey's I own is this 1979 alternate orange one of Tim Stoddard (size tag of "50" is hand written):
