Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

There is another thread posted on this board about fungo bats (which I replied to this AM) however since some of you may not see it, I thought I'd re-post it on this Orioles themed thread...

Thank you John

One of my favorite photos of Sr. I own is this one of him hitting fungos to his son prior to the 1989 season:

Wanted to share after months of waiting for some of these. PSA recently agreed to add the following 5 items to the Brooks Robinson PSA Master Set. I was a little surprised they added the 1968 Bazooka Tipps from Topps. The 1962 Stamp Panel was a toss up. In the Master Set there is the 1962 Brooks / Snider, Brooks / Baldschun, Single and 4 player panel. The other 3 (1962 Post Cereal Panel and Coca Cola Caps were clear adds). All but the 1962 Topps 6 player panel are highest graded. With these 5 additions, the Brooks Master is up to 298 different items. My set took a .07 dip in the quality score to a 7.00 but it is 100% complete. My set is rated # 2 for quality (# 1 set is a 7.85 quality but he is missing 24 items…his quality is amazing). Within my set 137 of the 298 items are either highest graded or tied for highest grade. The games adult men play! My set with pictures of all 298 items is posted on PSA (look for player master sets and name is Charlie’s Brooksie Master Set). Enjoy!

I recently picked up this B&W signed photo of Brooks that originated from the Ted Patterson collection...

Love the '76 look with the orange panel hat:

Bill,

Nice photo. I love the orange panel hats. They don't show up that often in photos.

Most of the 1976 Orioles team issued 8x10 photos featured the white panel hats, but did find a few with the orange panel. No Brooks, but a couple of HOFers.

Old guy brain cramp. I forgot that about half of the Orioles 1976 team issued postcards included the orange panel hats, including Brooks.

Nice! The auto looks great as well. I too am a fan of the orange panel caps.
