Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

Day 37 – 6 February 2024
My next sign celebrates the 1966 WS sweep / championship of the Baltimore Orioles. It features the iconic “Air Brooks” celebrating with McNally and Etch as they won their first championship in 1966. This sign marks the 20th anniversary of the Orioles first WS championship. At the top, it says “Spirit of 1966” and describes a celebration all week starting on July 13th about Oriole Magic. The sign is orange, cardboard and measures 17 inches by 11 inches.

That’s a newspaper header, correct? It’s one of the nicer signs I’ve seen. Been looking for this example and the one with Brooks headshot only pictured for quite some time now.

Is the sign from News American or Baltimore Sun? News American may have been out of business by 1986 ? I just googled and found that News American went out of Business May of 1986.,. So I assume it’s the Sun Papers.

Day 38 – 7 February 2024
Today’s sign is from 1983 from News American celebrating Brooks Robinson. It was part of their newspaper vending machines advertising their Brooks special section feature (“A Salute to Brooks”) on Sunday July 31, 1983, which was the same day he entered the Hall of Fame with Juan Marichal, Walter Alston, and his friend, George Kell. The sign is mostly white with orange and a great picture of the greatest third baseman of all time. It measures 17 inches by 11 inches.

Hi, Scott. Not sure about the other Brooks small poster, but the latest post is News American. Can’t see anything on the Spirit of 66 poster indicating who made it.

Day 39 – 8 February 2024
Thought to show a few of my PSA collection today with some raw vintage, too. I am working on two complete sets of the 1969 Transogram Boxes with cards and small panels. I am missing 4 boxes (Seaver, Swoboda, Callison and Allen). Looking for a small panel off the top of the head 1969 Transogram Box for the same players plus Banks and McCarver. In 1969, Transogram created a small box with a figurine in side. The boxes came in a very cool advertisement display, which I am looking for if anyone has one. The set includes 60 different players including Brooks Robinson. I am showing Brooks today in the box (several shown), a flat graded box, flat ungraded box, the graded card (highest graded), loose figurine and graded small panel picture. These make a very nice display and are hard to find in nice condition.

Now we know why there are no Brooks Transograms full boxes on eBay !

What are the odds that the only full box w/ figure I own is one that you need 🤣

I have one box with Brooks and it's in rough condition. I think a fellow collector could at least share ONE of the boxes... It's only right

Awesome collection! I'd like to see your set of Transogram boxes in one photo. I'm sure it would look nice.
