I'll have to post the backs when I get back to Maine. I'll have access to many more items then. We head back the second week of May, hopefully.

Yesterday, I shared some photos from the Rochester Red Wings. Today are some photos from the Orioles AA team, the Bowie BaySox. My research leads me to believe these are from 1995-1997. They are 4x6 photos, but not as high quality as the Rochester Red Wings photos. They are sponsored by CPI Photo. I'm not sure if that's a local Bowie business or the nation wide company that is known for doing yearly photos of school children. We all remember dressing up our kids for that perfect photo at school and not always loving the photos we got back.

I assume the photos were stadium giveaways. I've cataloged them by style and when the players appeared for the BaySox to come up with the 1995-1997 estimate. As always, additional info, corrections or checklists are appreciated.


1995 Photos (I only have one of the eight)

Mark...

Love that Brooks' Kelloggs Proof Card (never seen any, let alone Brooks!)...

There was a tough oddball/test issue from Topps back in 1997 called "ProShooters Marbles." There were 60 plastic marbles in the set (the checklists are collectible as well) and the rumor was that they were distributed in Canada.

Here is the Cal Ripken Jr. marble and checklist (with him pictured):

That’s a marble? Doesn’t look like one... Does look cool though!
