Here is my complete ticket from Cal's cycle game back in '84 (second Oriole to do so):



I believe someone on this thread has a stub from Brooks' cycle game if memory serves me right.

Nice ticket. In this day and age of paperless tickets, gems like that are going to be harder and harder to find.

Alan: you're right about that! It's probably been three years since I've used a paper ticket to get into Camden Yards...

34 years ago today was the game (at Fenway) when Cal played in his 1000th consecutive game (I believe Alan was there)......Here is their original lineup card that Saturday afternoon; signed by manager Frank Robinson (Cal homered as well in a losing cause)....I taped the game off the radio on a cassette tape that I need to locate one of these days

we all read yesterday about it being Bobby Bonilla Day, but did you know that the Orioles owe him $500k annually as well (through 2028 I believe)? Here are a couple Oriole related Bobby Bo items from my collection:

Hi. Does anyone have any details on the Memorial Stadium aisle markers? I have 3 (see below). Tried to clean them up and had pretty good luck. I have numbers 3, 4 and 8. I noticed the number 3 is a bit thicker than the the the other two (4 and 8). It is my understanding that the thicker markers were used with the upperdeck.

Also, does anyone know how high the numbers go? I heard 32.

Thanks.

Tweeting meant something a lot different in 1980:

Looking for some help with the 1983 ASA (Authenic Sports Autograph) set. Most of you are probably familiar with the 12 card set of Brooks Robinson they printed in 1983. They also did sets of other HOFers including Frank Robinson.

The sets came in two versions, red and green, both limited to 2000 sets. Card #1 in each set was autographed by Brooks.

My question... In the process of organizing a few dupes, I came across two different backs for card #10 in the red set. One card has a solid red border on back, while the other has a white border and thinner red border inside. All of my other cards, including the green set all have the solid red or green style border. I found a couple of other white border cards listed on eBay, but all of them are card #10.

Does anyone know the story behind the variation and whether or not all the red set cards can be found in both styles?

Thanks guys for any info...

If anyone is working on the set, I have dupes of #1, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 from the red set. All solid red borders.

I’ve never noticed the variation; thanks for pointing it out.

Very cool! Did Brooks ever have a fan club card? If so, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one…

With all the smart people on here (of course I’m excluded from that group) have to know which aisle markers are out there.
