There are Bethlehem Steel booklets from 1966-1970.

Here's the program and photo booklet from the 1969 Bethlehem Steel game.

Thank you so much for that information. I assumed it was from a Bethlehem Steel set but could only find the information about the 1967 set. Were these a stadium giveaway?

Jeff, you are correct. the original pencil hand drawn are 1/1. They have the initials “CSM with date and original art” marking. The official cards part of the 125 sets I understand have the stamp marking “copyright symbol
Mengler-Peterson 1975.” Sorry if confusing. The first post was a few original art and copies. Second post the next day was Brooks and Palmer original art.

Jeff, forgot Bumbry. Al Bumbry is not part of the 1975 Mengler Set. Mengler was going to do another set in 1976 but Mengler had issues with MLBPA so he did not do the set. When I talked to Mengler he said he had another Oriole u forgot who it was. He then found the card and recalled or researched as being the Bee Al Bumbry.

Thanks, Bill. I enjoyed Johnny Oates as a player and coach/manager.

Day 160 – 9 June 2024
Today I am showing you a photo of the Baltimore Orioles Team getting their photo take by none other than the manager, Earl Weaver. Weaver can be seen with a camera on a tripod with the players and coaches all smiling from year to year. Will assume this photo is the early 1970s. Brooks and Etch are both clapping. Belanger and McNally along with Boog are enjoying the photoshoot. Not sure I see Palmer. Pretty cool picture.

Looks like the set-up was for the team photo that appeared in the 1970 set...

If you look at Weaver Palmer is by this head (I think…)
