Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[roarfrom34]

It's interesting to note that the Sporting Goods store used the same images on the cover of their binders as the Equitable Life Insurance Co. did in their ad:

Charles that binder is in great shape, plus your Oriole head has the complete orange on it while mine has white.

In the Zolotorow collection included a second binder with a bunch of miscellaneous items. The second binder has a drawing of Brooks and what I believe is a signature and his #5 sticker. In the binder was some baseball cards, personal letters from Brooks to Zolotorow, photos (more on those in the coming days), Brooks sporting goods letterhead and business card. Included today is the binder, letterhead, business card and some personal correspondence from Brooks to Zolotorow.

Bill, the Equitable Advertisement from above was also a print on card stock. Not sure I have seen the advertisement before. Pretty interesting how things are repurposed. Thanks for sharing.

Am I the only Brooks fan that doesn’t have a sporting goods binder?!? Yours looks as nice as Clint’s…

Really like the business card; I’ve never seen one before. Something else to look for that I didn’t even know that was out there.

Very cool pickups Charlie; very unique and interesting items.

I believed I've posted in the past, but here's a fairly unique item from the store.

Wow great items gentlemen!

Hi Gang:

Don't think I posted this before. This is the original artwork portfolio from the 1963 Post Cereal set. This is different from the Jello portfolio shown in another thread. As you will see this folio is for a 14 oz. Raisin Bran box and has Brooks on it.

There is a cover, a top sheet with players names etc a bottom sheet with just the over sized photos. Then the "final" with the overlay atop the photos

The "cards" are much larger than the ones issued as they used this for camera art.

Obviously one of a kind. Although ones were made for all the different size boxes and different cereals.

That drawing on the binder looks worse than his 58 Topps card !

Nice T-shirt, Mark.

I agree, Scott. Bad drawing.

Today’s posting is a Rawlings Staff Advisory photo in the Zolotorow binder of Brooks. This Staff Advisory photo is probably the most rare rawlings photo of Brooks with glove to chest. I actually have seen only one other copy of this photo and it is mine PSA graded and signed by Brooks. This photo is unsigned and in decent shape. I am debating to grade it or keep raw. This is a huge find if you collect Staff Advisory Photos. The binder also included this team issued 8 x 10 Tadder photo with Brooks as a 3b and CH for coach I believe. The binder included a lot of other team issued photos and Koolon photo.

Charlie,

Great photos. I love the advisory photos. Let me know if you ever want to sell it.
