Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

Day 318 – 14 November 2024
Leaving the team issue and Jay Publishing behind, today I am showing you the 1973 Johnny Pro Stand Up Cards of Brooks Robinson. The set includes 25 different cards. Three players have 2 variation cards (Brooks, Palmer and Grich). My two Brooks Robinson cards (fielding and batting) are high graded (PSA 8 and 9).

Johnny Pro is a nice set. Especially like the two Variations of Brooks. Not easy to find in high quality. It has a nice selection of our stars from the past. Hard to believe they are over 50 years old.

Day 328 – 23 November 2024
Today I am showing you some of my J.D. McCarthy post cards. I have a few non-Orioles but my focus is to gather all the Baltimore Orioles from this set. I have 3 of the Frank Robinson’s and a signed and unsigned Brooks Robinson. I am missing a few variations (Dalmyple, Drabowski, Northrup, Pappas). I am missing Brandt, Heard, Held, Probus, Stephens, Triandos, and Wilhelm. If anyone wants to trade for a Frank Robinson for any above, keep me in mind.

Charlie,

I really like the MCCarthy postcards. I believe I have all the known Orioles & variations (31 total). By far, the two hardest to find are the Jehosie Heard and Milt Pappas (squatting) postcards. Good luck.

Here's the 31 known Orioles JD McCarthy postcards includes an extra Pappas

Day 329 – 24 November 2024
Back on 15 January 2024, I provided some details about the First Annual Cracker Jack Old Timers Baseball Game at RFK Memorial Stadium, Washington, D.C. on Monday, July 19, 1982 at 8:00 PM. I showed you a poster, Program and Brooks Sheet from the 82 card set included. Recently, I found the ticket, newspaper clipping of Brooks Robinson and the box score. It appears Brooks went 1 for 1. Below is a picture of these things. Pretty cool.
