Scott,

Very nice. That's a set I've never started. They are tough. Congrats.

Mark I love that crown piece and still kick myself for not getting the half poster that was on eBay.

My Orioles collecting goals for the year usually consists of adding 3-4 game used items for my 70, 79 and 83 teams. Unfortunately this year was more about saving money for other projects. I did add an 80’s warm up jersey from Bill and made a trade for a great 69-74 batting helmet.

Ethan,

That Brooks signature looks to be a pretty early auto.

Agreed.

Good evening,

Mark, I really like the Crown Gas Brooks poster and the Millers Falls Power Tools postcard. I want to thank you again for helping me acquire the 1969 Topps Deckle Edge Brooks proof card this year.

Below is a 1990 MLB Tour of Japan Dream Game program. Although no Orioles went on that tour, there is a list of previous MLB/Japan games, including a photo of the 1971 Orioles tour. I believe that is Pat Dobson.

Mike,

Appreciate it on the Crown piece and the Millers Falls postcard. I really regret not going higher on the other MF postcard; I really didn’t know at the time how rare it would be to find one. I haven’t seen another example since.

No problem on the Deckle proof. I’m happy I was able to add to your great collection.

Definitely Dobson...

The Crown banner that was cut was at one of the National events in Baltimore. Even though it was cut it still was large and looked pretty good. Unsure why someone would do this unless the bottom portion was tore up which is possible since they were likely displayed outside.
