Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Dewey2007]

Thanks to Bill for sharing the 1966 Junior Orioles tickets I recently picked up. Here is a pic of the full 1970 Junior Orioles ticket sheet I also picked up. Some of the games include Brooks Robinson's 200th career HR, Dave McNally's 100th career win, two Jim Palmer shutouts and Palmer winning 20 games for the first time in his career.

Dewey,

That's a nice grouping of '70 Junior Orioles tickets; thanks for sharing the item.

Clint,

Those set of cleats would make a great display piece with added McNally and Grich items. Now lets get that curio and set it up for all to see...

Anyone want to wager a guess in what this somewhat ugly piece is?

It looks like some sort of proof from the back of his 1962 Topps card. Cool item.

Starting in 1970, the Orioles switched from B&W postcards to color postcards. From 1970-1972, the Orioles used the same photos for most of their postcards. Postcards from 1970 are easy to identify, because the font used for the player's name is much smaller in 1970 than 1971-72. The backs of the postcards are blank. I believe several different printings were done throughout the season, as many of the more popular players have several different cropping or name placement variations. Postcards were also sold as individual postcards or sets through the Orioles.

I have 50 of the 51 known postcards. A few years ago, a new Elrod Hendricks postcard was found. It appeared to have been cut from a sheet. It's the only known copy, so it's unlikely it was ever distributed to fans and probably part of a sample sheet from the printers.

Hey, 50 out of 51 isn't bad at all... So, someone has that Elrod; do you know who and is it obtainable?!?

So, the next question would be do you like the B&W postcards OR the color postcards better?
