That’s a great poster. That would look great hanging in my wall ! Is the color in the photo correct? For some reason I thought it was green with black type and black and white photos.

The cardboard broadside is silver, which just looks kinda grey in the photo. It’s silver due to the silver anniversary of the game. Hmm, would look great “in” your wall; nah, I want it “on” my wall 😬. You’ll have to be patient for a green sign to appear... |

Signed photo of Cal Ripken Jr.'s first MLB At Bat on 08/12/81....Photo was originally sourced thru Jim Palmer's former wife Joni, who was a photographer and was at the game to take photos of Jim who pitched in the first game of a Double Header...Thankfully she hung around for Game 2 to capture this......Accompanying this photo is Earl's lineup card from that evening:

I've been sorting and organizing many cards during the lockdown, and found this sheet from Front Row in 1992

Nice; definitely filled with stars. Any recent pickups on the Lou Brock front? Also, do you happen to know If Lou still does any signings? I have a small show poster that players have signed it with the exception of Lou. |

Day 130 (May 9, 2020 – 130)
Since Bill has to post WAY BETTER items; I'll feature Cal today with trinkets . I’m going to picture two different items today. One is a plastic bat rack with the Cal Ripken Jr. bat right out in front (where it should be) AND you gotta love player posters and here’s one with both Cal and Brooks.

I have that same bank with American and National league team bats ... I thought mine was from the early 70s. Mark’s must be from the 80s with a Ripken bat. Does anyone collect these banks and can shed some light on the subject ? My bat rack looks just like Mark’s.
Have any of you ever damaged one of your collectibles ? Recently I dropped my bank and broke a piece of the plastic bat rack. It’s really a bad feeling damaging your own stuff! I glued it back together but I would love to get another one to replace mine. Anyone have a empty bank bat rack out there ? Thanks Scott Last edited by quitcrab; 05-09-2020 at 08:47 AM. |

Those Louisville Slugger bat banks date back to the 1950's as far as I know. Mark...thanks for the nice words about the Ripken lineup card...when one thinks about it being the first time his name was ever written on a MLB one, it's a neat feeling. Here is a 2001 point of sale piece from Nabisco and Coca Cola (with Brooks, Ozzie Carlton, etc.):
