Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

Good evening. Thought to share some cards from 1968 by Topps in the Brooks Robinson Registry. Between the US, Canada, and Venezuela Topps versions, you'll see there were a few different cards Topps offered. In the Master for Brooks, other companies made their versions, too. Thought to share the Topps Cards for 1968 on this post.

Very NICE! Really like that Topps had the different versions in 1968 especially.

I really enjoy the artwork style in the 70’s. I guess that’s why I like the 1975 Topps cards so much; just a tad bit different, but you can definitely tell the era. This is a 1975 Orioles ticket information booklet entitled, Another Banner Year. It shows artwork of Brooks along with Paul Blair and I assume Ross Grimsley along with some bright colors (I really like the setup).

Mark,

I really like the booklet. I always thought that the pitcher was Mike Cuellar throwing his famous screwball.

Here are photos of Cuellar and Grimsley. Should we take a vote?

Well, now that you say Cuellar it does have the arm in a screwball motion. I vote for Cuellar

I'm voting for Cuellar too....I don't believe I've ever seen that booklet before..

Here is a Hank Bauer signed TIME magazine from 1964:

Happy 63rd Birthday to former Orioles pitcher (and overall great guy) Mike Boddicker...Here are some game tickets from iconic moments in his Orioles career:

Tickets from both the 1983 ALCS & World Series:



My very first trip to Fenway Park was the last weekend of the 1984 season & I did get to see Mike win his 20th game that Saturday afternoon...Unfortunately, the Orioles haven't had a 20 Game winner since!

Mark...

Great photo!

Here is a neat photo of the Orioles starting lineup running out to their positions before the last game at Memorial Stadium in 1991...It took awhile, but I finally was able to get it signed by all of them:

Bill,

That is a fantastic piece. Seems like the perfect time to post the Orioles 1991 team issued postcards.

The real keys to the set are the late season B&W postcards, especially Kevin Hickey. The Orioles also included a Brooks Robinson postcard in the set. I'm not really sure why, but it seems the Orioles would include Brooks every fews years. Sorry about the pics, my scanner is a little flaky today. The postcards don't have wavy yellow lines....

I was luck enough to attend the final game at Memorial Stadium. I use to go to a bb card shop in Severna Park Md. called Front Row Sports in the early 90s . They had a huge (10 to 12 ft wide) panoramic photo of all the players after the game stretched from left field to right. The owner would not sell it to me. I can never find this image on the internet. Has anyone ever seen it? Love to see the photo again.

Great piece and the autographs make it even better...
