Thanks for your thoughts on the Brooksie picture. I believe the photo is likely from at least near the time frame of the picture which is around 1964. Notice the facsimile signature, which is Brooks' style from the 1960's and the picture was likely taken during spring training that year (Miami). I purchased this from 16goldgloves, which is Brooks' companies eBay user ID, a few years ago. Most of the items they put up are recently signed even though some of the pieces are older items. Wish they wouldn't do that, but they do. Personally I like the vintage items unsigned and/or signed during the time frame of the piece.
