Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[BaltOrioles]

From around 1966 through the 1970's, Robert (R.G.) Laughlin produced a variety of sets in conjunction with Fleer. Most notably were his World Series sets, but a couple of his sets included Brooks Robinson. These cards are interesting and fairly inexpensive.

I like the look of the Laughlin Brooks cards. Marty (laughlinfan) has the original artwork for the Brooks 1974 AS Games. He had a few others from this set along with some from the Super Standups set.

Day 55 (February 24, 2020 – 055)

It’s sad for me to say, but I was never a member of the Brooks Robinson Fan Club. As a matter of fact I didn’t even know that there was a Brooks Robinson Fan Club. I sure wish I could go back and join (and pick up a few Mantle rookies while I’m there); I’d have been a die-hard member that’s for sure.

I’ve had this certificate for a while and it was placed, not so neatly, in a scrapbook I purchased back in the day. The scrapbook wasn’t that great, but it did have a couple of neat items glued heavily on a scrapbook page. This is a Certificate of Membership to the Brooks Robinson Fan Club dated June 11, 1965.

I'll keep posting minor league items until Mark shuts me off.

Here are photos of the 1979 Rochester Red Wings (O's AAA affiliate) that were sponsored by The Big Red Q Quickprint Centers. I assume they were giveaways of some sort. They are B&W 8.5" x 11" and the autographs are facsimile. The most recognizable names include Mike Boddicker and Nate Snell.

I also have photos of Jose Bastian, Vic Bernal, Mark Corey, Randy Fierbaugh, Larry Johnson, Wayne Krenchicki, Gerry Pirtle, Jimmy Smith, Tommy Smith and Wayne Tyrone. I don't know if the set is complete at 12 or not.

Alan,

I'm hoping you can make it with minor league Oriole affiliate items ALL year! I get to see all these pieces that I've never seen before and I'm lovin' it...

Both the Boddicker and the Snell look nice and I like the setup. They even have credit for photographer on there.

Mark,

Shouldn't be a problem. I've got stuff back in Maine, I haven't scanned yet.

For Eddie Murray's birthday, how about the 1976 Charlotte Orioles team photo with a young Eddie in the back row.

Mark,

Part of the fun I'm having is that the posts from others are reminding me of some of my items that I haven't looked at in ages.

I like the new shiny cards with the old school Topps setup like this one with the '77 borders.
