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.

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.

Nice. Thanks for sharing the 1965 8 x 10. Enjoy seeing team issue, Jay pub, etc of Brooks and Orioles. Post more.

Day 167 – 16 June 2024
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.
