Day 89 – 30 March 2024
Along with the Salesman Sample, you will see a custom made helmet I had made with the bill shaved down and the old Bird. I was fortunate to find this and later had Brooks sign the top of the bill along the orange. It looks nice displayed. I would love to find an original.

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.

Default Brooks Robinson Endorsed Items

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?

Absolutely love the samples, I'd love one for my PC guy.

Here's my '65 team issue 8x10 for consolation. Compared to the standard size I believe it's much much tougher, And nicer looking imo. Maybe even some of you big collectors haven't seen one in this size. But I doubt it lol.

Today I am showing you a 1974 Topps Proof Stamp Panel that includes Brooks Robinson. I put the complete stamp panel set together, which was fun. The proof is a bit rare.

You KNOW I'm a sucker for the proof stuff; just so cool. Really nice '74 proof panel. Here's another example of the stamps from '74.

Really nice team issue 8X10. Definitely tougher to find the larger size team issues. If I'm not mistaken this image was used for the Orioles 1965 yearbook. Was a great image of Brooks; here's a couple examples of this shot that was used for other purposes.

Nice pictures, Mark. I find myself leaning towards team issues items more and more. Still enjoy the cards but memorial stadium related stuff and team issues items I find more interesting.

Default Baltimore Orioles Rawlings Staff Advisory Photos

Day 168 – 17 June 2024
I am a huge fan of Staff Advisory Photos. Today I am showing you a few featuring Orioles Players with Rawlings from the 1960s. I have several of Brooks I have show before but here are a few others: Dave McNally (auto), Boog, and the Blade (Mark Belanger). Brooks appeared in several different versions with Rawlings (I am tracking 6 BW versions and the two indirectly related 1964-1966 Rawlings Premium Photos).

Default Baltimore Orioles Wilson Advisory Photos

Day 169 – 18 June 2024
Today I am showing you some of my Wilson Advisory Staff Photos of Orioles (Aparicio, Orsino, Pappas, and Blair). I am missing Brandt, Gentile, variation of Pappas, and Triandos. There are also Orioles with McGregor and Spalding, which I do not have. A guy I met has a great web site with all of the Advisory Photos, which I have contributed to. www.tonyinzerillo.com. A great resource for all Advosory photos.

1966 Martin Family Night team photo. Thinking this may be the only one known (as I don't see any posted from you all in the past) I actually haven't seen a team photo from any other year Martin Family night.

What's interesting is the back is the exact same as the front, the same image on both sides. Like it was meant to be hung up on glass or something. Two pinholes on each upper corner so maybe it was hanging somewhere at the stadium?

All the names you'd expect to see, a young Palmer, Brooks etc. It's quite large, over 8x10. Hard to make out faces on the full size scan, I may rescan just the players one day. Hope you all enjoy.

Day 251 – 8 September 2024
Another sign today but this one is from Camden Yards. This sign is made of thick plastic and was found on the back side of a Coca Cola Fountain Drink Dispenser facing customers. The sign measures 15 in X 23 in. It has the Junior Bird and says “O(s)fficial Refreshment” with a Coca Cola and the Scoreboard.

Thanks for the feedback on the Bumper Sticker sign, Bill. That makes more sense as far as “asking the attendant.”

Lucas, I have not seen the Martin Family Night Photo from 1966. I have a few of the MFN Programs/scorecards, a hat handout, and the cards from 1964. I have about 6 extra cards to include Brooks. If you want to donate the photo, keep me in mind. Thanks for sharing.

I wanted to share this snap I grabbed from the Philly show. It shows Billy Hunter in the Os Inaugural season of 1954, his only year as an oriole actually. Billy is still alive at 96 today.

I've found being a collector of snaps that the Orioles during the 50s are probably the toughest to find of any team. Maybe because they were a new team and all. But I believe this is my first of an O from the 50s. If you have any old Os snaps available please lmk. Hope you all enjoy.

Thanks for sharing; love the snap of Billy Hunter. Even though he was a coach when I was growing up he still was one of my favorites.

I probably have a few O’s snaps stored in boxes “somewhere”. I’m probably not like most guys here that are at least somewhat organized. Of course we even have the OCD collectors with their organizing skill and prowess (hope to be like that when I grow up someday, but not today…).

Today, I am showing you the 1962 Pennant featuring the Orioles Team Photo but now it has the year felt addition saying 1962. I really enjoy this Pennant version through 1974. The Hartzell Bird at the top is pretty cool.

Thanks Mark, can't believe I forgot to reply to this. Seeing Billy pass away reminded me to check. Rip.


Sharing again for condolences to a founding member.

Great fungo by the way Bill.

Default Alan Strout

I did receive unexpected and sad news that one of my collector friends Alan Strout had passed away. He contributed so much to this thread as well as helped in a variety of ways off line since we met quite a number of years ago. He couldn’t be more helpful with his vast knowledge concerning the Orioles and their minor league partners. I’ll miss him greatly.

Default Alan Strout

Thanks, Mark. I was so sad to hear this news last week. I believe his obituary is on his FB page. Like you, Alan was a constant and huge source of information on anything related to the Orioles. His knowledge on cards, scorecards, photos, post cards and the oddest of odd ball stuff was unmatched. I connected with him several years ago and “bothered” him at least weekly. He was a genuinely nice guy. He actually visited my home last year and I met with him this year during spring training. His knowledge and personality will be missed. His collection with scorecards and photos/postcards were unmatched. Prayers to his family. Thanks, Mark, for mentioning this.

So sorry to hear this. Alan was a true treasure. His knowledge of all things Orioles was amazing. RIP Alan. You are greatly missed.

Great pieces, with the pennants and other brooks items being shown off the ball is really rolling. Here is another one I got from the Philly show, a 1969 special parking pass.

Lucas,

I have a couple of the O’s Parking passes. They are not that large and I think they make for a neat display.

Was going through some things this weekend and ran across this package I had rec'd from ESPN's Bob Ley after I had written him in September of '98 shortly after Cal Ripken Jr.'s consecutive game streak ended.

ESPN had done a special titled "He Came to Play" hosted by Ley on 09/22 & I had written him for a copy of the script used in that show:

Bill, nice post on Minor replacing Cal. I always felt bad for him trying to fill Cal’s shoes but worse for Doug DeCinces for some reason. Thanks for sharing.

Here is something I got a while ago and think it's super cool. An original photo stamped Aug 1961, of a boy named Jimmy Brown. He has a few fans of 1961 topps all star high numbers and MVPs. Brooks is front and center of his right hand. Hank Sauer and Willie mays show well in his left hand. You don't really see period photos of cards themselves (aside from a few famous ones showing packs on shelves).

The title the newspaper seemed to have given this photo is "Hobby card collection".

Hope you all enjoy.

Default Orioles Advertisement Signs

A couple advertisement cardboard signs. Guessing the Catch the Magic Orioles Express is from 1984. It references the AL Champions and Memorial Memorial Stadium. The second one is from 1984 (February 12, 1984 was a Sunday).

Charlie,

I think the Orioles Magic Express sign may be from 1980.

Default 1984 Advertisement Sign for a WS Champ Sticker

Wondering if this is the free sticker that the sign is referencing?

Brooks is front and center of his right hand. Hank Sauer and Willie mays show well in his left hand. You don't really see period photos of cards themselves (aside from a few famous ones showing packs on shelves).

The title the newspaper seemed to have given this photo is "Hobby card collection".

Hope you all enjoy.

I saw this piece today, figured the bobblehead was just glued onto a 60s lamp base but the shade itself apparently illuminates the Os logo when on. So I'm thinking it was made attached to the base, not added later.

Couldn't find anything else like it. Any info?

The shade looks like a common 1950s or so decal out there. Maybe someone affixed on inside with a store bought shade. Seeing back of bobblehead would be interesting.

Never seen. Thanks for sharing.

Default 1968 Atlantic Oil Brooks Robinson Gift Play Ball Game Panel

NFS - here is one you don’t see everyday. Posted on FB, too. Fresh from PSA. Excited to “slab” it to protect it from being separated. 1968 Atlantic Oil Brooks Robinson Gift Play Ball Game Panel. This one is unique with the Spcial Gift Award still attached. Not in the beat shape but happy it was graded as PSA 1 vice Authentic. Never seen one before.

The Brooks Robinson Master includes the single card with Brooks either Play Ball Back or Game Rules Back but not the Panel shown below.

Nice thought Charles. I would probably go buy it if the guy was closer to me. (He won't ship)

Here's the back.

Default Orioles

I don’t know for sure, but from what I’ve seen in the past was companies would make lamps and use nodders that were imported to the US. So, I don’t know of a baseball lamp that was originally shipped this way. Now if you consider another company making the vintage lamps with nodders then I’ve seen several different ones. Any sticker affixed to bottom or another maker mark on the lamp?

The Atlantic Oil piece is very cool and unique. I’ve never seen one that was intact. Hopefully PSA will add it for you.

Rest Easy Alan, not many people who consistently only post useful good information and stay out of drama and other stuff.

Sad to hear this news and always enjoyed Alan’s posts.

Default 1977 Brooks Robinson Photo with Spalding

This photo is from 1977 I believe based on my other team issued versions but has a Spalding logo at bottom. Had not seen this before until recently picked up on eBay. I can’t imagine Brooks using anything but Rawlings recall some adds later in life with Spalding.

Well Spalding has all types of sports equipment so not just gloves. I don’t think Brooks used anything else besides Rawlings mitts during his playing days (even though he was known for using other players gloves). It’s possible he used a Spalding glove in the old timers games or some other related Spalding equipment. I do know there were Spalding endorsed Brooks gloves.
