Clint,

I was talking about the Orioles Scrapbook "cards" that were put in the Baltimore News-Press from in 1960 to 1963.

Day 184 (July 2, 2020 – 184)

This is another item from the Brooks Robinson Sporting Goods Company. It’s a small fold out pamphlet from the 70’s that advertises Brooks’ 1974 autobiography, as told to Jack Tobin, called, “Third Base is my Home”. You could mail in the form and get the book for $5.95. It’s a great read by the way. There’s a couple quotes included in the pamphlet and the cover reads, “They say that when he retires he’s going to take third base with him…” – Jim Murray, Los Angeles Times

I remember waiting on a “wait list ” at my elementary school to get that book! It It was the first book I read cover to cover ! I really like the book order form ! Never seen that before.

[BaltOrioles]

Here's an obscure set of cards that were included in an issue of Oklahoma Today Magazine in 1959. The set highlighted players from Oklahoma and included two Orioles, Jerry Adair and Jerry Walker. Jerry Adair was located in the bottom right corner, which makes him a little harder to find in nice shape compared to the Jerry Walker card.

This link has some nice info on the set including a picture of the magazine
