Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[roarfrom34]

I've had this signed Brooks Rawlings matted/framed print ad for years hanging in my hobby room (it was a gift)....Any idea the year or what publication it appeared in?

Hi Bill,

I believe that ad is usually listed as a 1963 ad, although, sorry, I'm not sure which publication it is from.

Here's one currently listed on Ebay:

Day 15 – 15 January 2024
My next poster features the First Annual Cracker Jack Old Timers Baseball Game at RFK Memorial Stadium, Washington, D.C. on Monday, July 19, 1982 at 8:00 PM. The poster measures 18 inches X 28 inches. The program is also shown. The poster features Aaron, Brooks and Spahn with a beautiful USA flag and the Capital Building. Both rosters were loaded with HoF players including from the NL team Roberts, Spahn, Wilhelm, Campanella, Banks, McCovey, Reese, Aaron, Brock, Kiner, Mays; from the AL, HoF included Ford, Newhowser, Feller, Hunter, Kaline, Doby and of course, Brooks Robinson. Many of the above players were not yet in the HoF to include Brooksie. This is the game that 75 year old Luke Appling hit a homer off of Warren Spahn (check it out on You Tube). Can’t find the box score to see how Brooksie did that day but I am sure he was great. The small blue pennant is from the game. I believe the card is as well. Pictures of the Poster, Program, Card and Pennant included below.

Here is the card for the post above.

Day 16 – 16 January 2024
Hope you enjoyed the posters. I would now like to show and discuss some of my pins and buttons. My very favorite is the 1959 PM10 of Brooks Calbert Robinson. This pin is very scarce. There is also one with his middle name spelled incorrectly. You rarely see this pin and when you do, be prepared to shell out a few dollars. There are other Orioles in this set but none as rare or as nice as Brooks. I have a Triandos and Gentile. I believe there are a total of 12 PM 10s featuring Orioles. They are very expensive and hard to find. Show us your PM10 Oriole Pins. More pins tomorrow.

Day 17 – 17 January 2024
Here are a few of the Orioles World Series Pins, Clasps, Broaches and Charms. I tried to organize them by World Series year in a row starting at the top with 1966, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1979, and 1983. Then, from left to right you will find the clasp, pin, charm and broach. I am not exactly sure if all four types were made for each year but always looking. My favorite is 1970 (“3rd World Series). The detail is very nice. I really like the 1971 Japan version (fourth row, far right…not in the best condition). You’ll notice 1969 does not say anything about the year, just the “Baltimore Orioles and World Series.” There are some phantom WS versions out there from the 1960s, too.

I really never got into the press pins, even though I have a few. I guess I should at least add the main ones to the collection at some point. Looking at the photo it makes me wanting to add the different types of pins as well. Thanks for posting them all...

Charlie,

Here are some of the phantom World Series press pins. I also included the 1984 Orioles Japan Tour pin.

I also have the two different 1989 phantom W.S. pins, but don't have a scan of them. The 1960's phantoms are pretty tough to find, but the 1989 pins are very easy. Sorry the scans are the best. They look much better in person. LOL
