I don’t think Steve is on Net54, but could possibly be incorrect. He has an amazing collection of mainly GU equipment, but has an assortment of other very rare pieces. Really good guy…

Day 90 – 31 March 2024
Also displayed with the Salesman Sample and fake helmet, is a Game Used signed Brooks Robinson Hillerich & Bradsby model MC44 bat, length 34.5 inches, weight 32.3 ounces made of ash with a standard finish. The bat was used between 1965 – 1968. It has a lot of use / character. The bat is cracked. The handle has been wrapped with a cork grip. The number 5 is on the knob with 32 for the weight. Brooks signed it in blue and marked it “HOF 1983 Game Used.” Both the signature and bat authenticity were done by PSA. It Graded a PSA GU 8.

Day 91 – 1 April 2024
I really enjoy odd stuff that Brooks endorsed. Today, I am showing you two items. A Palmgard Protective Fielder’s Glove for baseball or softball. It was made in Randallstown, MD. The glove has some type of special gripping material on the index finger and palm. It is size XL. Brooks signed it with his HoF 83 inscription. The backside of the box provides more details. Additionally, I am showing a Markwort Sporting Goods Company, St. LoPine Tar Rag. The Pine Tar Rag has some type of relationship with the Palmgard Glove. I did not have this one signed. Both items were endorsed by Brooksie so they must work. Should I break them open and try them out?

I think George Brett would have been a better spokesperson for the pine tar rag. It’s unbelievable that a “special” rag was marketed for applying pine tar. There is no way my old man would have bought that for me back when I was young and playing baseball!

Im with you; really like the oddball stuff that Brooks endorsed.

I agree with both Mark and Scott. I enjoy seeing this stuff my parents would have laughed at me.

Was pleased to pick up this Cal Ripken Sr. game worn road jersey from the 1985 season this past weekend. 1985 was the first year Sr. went to #7 (was originally #47) and jersey is complete with the cigarette pack breast pocket customization:
