It’s my daughter’s birthday today so I’ll post a few things from her birth year.

Mark,

Happy birthday to your daughter and thanks to all those we remember on this Memorial Day.

Here's a few items from Cal's last spring training in 2001. Schedule, Workout Roster, Ticket Brochure and Scorecard

Alan..Thanks for the Kinnunen headshot & 2001 Spring Training items...I've always loved that program cover shot of Cal Jr.

I don't believe I've posted this before, but here is a 2001 Orioles team signed baseball:

Just found this thread yesterday and have to say I love it! I have a pretty large Orioles collection myself.

Talmer,

Glad you were able to find the thread and enjoying it. As you see we’re all Oriole fans (including minor league affiliates) as well as baseball fans in general so please post and make yourself at home. Just a bunch of good guys in here sharing their collections.

Mark that transparency is awesome!

Bill those 87 alternates are tough to find in original condition.

Thanks Clint. It's one of my favorite Brooks pieces that I have that was used to make a baseball card. Usually the transparencies are very small, but this one is larger, around 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".

Day 147 (May 26, 2020 – 147)

I had shown another 1978 Rack Pack (Rak Pak) earlier in the thread and below is another example with different players showing including Rose.

The last time I posted a ’78 Rack Pack I posted the 1978 Topps Brooks card. So, this time I’ll post the 1978 O-Pee-Chee even though this is not what’s in there…
