Bill,

I love those Esskay photos. I hadn't seen the Ripkens before. How much do you know about them? I've been wondering about putting together a check list for awhile. Any additions to my check list are appreciated. Do you have any dupes you would like to sell?

I have two different sizes of photos 4x5 and 5x7. The Ripkens you have look like they are 5x7. I also have some with the black caps the Orioles started wearing in 1989. On the 4x5 photos, there are small and large Esskay logos.

Here is what I have with sample scans -

4x5 White Caps - Ken Singleton

4x5 Black Caps (1989-1991 ?) - Curt Schilling, Brian Holton, Joe Orsulak, Kevin Hickey (small Esskay logo) and Ben McDonald (large Esskay logo)

5x7 White Caps (1988 ?) - Al Bumbry, Larry Sheets, Joe Orsulak, Oswald Peraza and Mickey Tettleton

5x7 Black Caps (1989-1991 ?) - Mike Deveraux, Steve Finley, Rene Gonzales and Jay Tibbs

Day 104 (April 13, 2020 – 104)

Foldout poster from Illustrated Current News from June 8, 1973. Poster showing Brooks with his 13th Gold Glove along with Bill Steed, hypnotizing his frogs, getting them ready for a big jumping contest and Ralph Peterson with his 52 lb. striped bass. Ok; this is the definition of odd-ball item…

Also pictured today is a 1973 Orioles team picture pennant. None of my pennants are in particularly nice shape, but from quite a distance they look pretty nice.

To add onto yesterday's post, here are some 1991 photos from Snow Valley and WDCA-TV 20. These photos are 4x6. It's another set I'm looking to develop a complete checklist of, if possible. I'm fairly sure there are others out there. I'm interested in any not shown.

As an added bonus, a Billy Ripken 5x7 photo sponsored by Herman's World of Sporting Goods

Alan:

Yes, those Ripken Esskay photos are 5x7...I believe I have an extra set or two, so I'll let you know.

Those Ripken photos I believe originated from the first Orioles Winter Carnival (now known as Fan Fest) which took place in the Omni Hotel in January 1988...Here are the program covers from their first two Carnivals:



I also have these Esskay photos which I had signed at their January 1990 Carnival (I also have a few that you already pictured):

Bill,

Thanks. That makes perfect sense that they were photos from winter carnivals. I've never been close enough to Baltimore to attend any of the fanfests.

I appreciate you adding to my wantlist Would it be safe to say in your opinion the 5x7 photos (white caps) are from 1988, the 5x7 photos (black caps) are from 1989 and the smaller 4x5 photos are from 1990? Do you think the 4x5 Ben McDonald with the larger Esskay logo is later than 1990 or just a variation from 1990 photos?

I love the other Billy Ripken photos. I have the Luskins photo, but had never seen the second Herman's Sporting Goods photo.

I also have an Adidas Scott McGregor photo. It is 6x9 and same format as the 1986 Ripken.

Mark I love those proofs and transparencies you have. Really dig those one of a kind items.
