Mark,

Great looking proofs. I'm a big fan of the 1971 set. I'm fairly confident you have the largest collection of Brooks Robinson proofs.

I apologize in advance for deviating slightly from the Orioles theme this morning, but I need to give a shout out this morning to an old friend.

For a number of years, I coached high school baseball in Maine. During part of that time, one of my assistant coaches was Paul Lancici. Two of his sons played for me. Paul is a woodworker by trade and eventually turned his skills to bat making. He founded a company in Maine called Dove Tail Bats. Some of his clients include major leaguers. If you watch closely around the 20 second mark, you will see a DTB bat on the ground near home plate. Way to go Paul....
