Default 1956 Hocus Focus
Here' s an Orioles card I'm glad I picked up many years ago. It's the 1956 Hocus Focus of Hal Smith. For those unfamiliar with the set, they are small cards (1" x 1.5") that you could develop yourself as the wrapper demonstrates.
Hal Smith was the only Orioles of the 18 baseball subjects. Smith was also in the 1955 set that contained 23 baseball players. The only difference I know of is that Smith is #17 in 1955 and #15 in the 1956 set.

Here's a scan of the 1956 card along with the wrapper (not mine)

I really enjoy viewing all the Brooks/Baltimore items from everyones collection. In fact, several of the items I've been researching for future purchases. I'm sure many of you wanted to hear that (supply and demand). lol

1956 line up card signed by Manager Paul Richards. The game took place on Sept. 9th at Memorial Stadium against the Red Sox. O's lost 3-2 in 12 innings with Connie Johnson pitching 11 innings. Baltimore had a HOF'er at third day that day.....George Kell.

Can't believe PSA put a sticker on the reverse.

Did they put the sticker on the actual lineup card? That’s crazy!

They sure did! If it's any consolation, at least it's not on the front.

What were they authenticating? Was it whether it was a real lineup card or the Richards autograph? I know I have a few things with stickers on the front/back. I didn’t submit them, but someone did.

They were authenticating the signature.

Default 1959 Bazooka
A couple of Bazooka items that I don't think have been posted yet.

The 1959 Bazooka Gus Triandos and Hot Iron Transfer. The 1959 Bazooka cards are hard to find, but Triandos is a short print, so he doesn't show up as much as some others. I'm happy with the cut of mine.

Very cool Triandos item. A favorite Bazooka example!

Regarding the iron on...is it large in size?

Thanks; they advertise it as being fairly large and I guess that's a decent size.

Alan,

That Hocus Focus card is very nice. I don’t think I’ve really even seen one. I also really didn’t know very much about the cards so appreciate the education on this issue.

I think I said it before, but I haven’t delved into the old school Orioles “yet”. You have a very neat piece. I understand George Puccinelli was quite a force in the league. Even though he didn’t do much in this particular game he won the Triple Crown and was the 1935 MVP in the International League.

Here’s my Puccinelli 1936 World Wide Gum card. I really like the minor league stuff...it’s fun to collect. I have the minor league Orioles WWG set, C46, T205 and T206 sets. Hope to build a few more!

John,

That's very nice and does sound fun to collect. I'd like to see more of your collection regarding the cards you're referring. I'm not familiar with some of the cards you're talking about so to get a visual would be cool.

Below is a 1983 Mike Boddicker Game Used jersey. Boddiker was the ALCS MVP in 1983 and of course the Orioles did fairly well in the 1983 World Series.

Day 35 (February 4, 2020 – 035)

Brooks is pictured along with Manny Sanguillen, catcher for the Pirates, shot during the ’71 World Series in a paperback book by Don Smith entitled, “Baseball: How to Hit and Run!” I never personally got past the cover of this small book; I just liked the cover.

Thought I’d add a picture of Brooks in the 1971 World Series.

This one is the C46. It was a Canadian issue that featured the International League teams, and there were 14 Orioles cards. I have completed the set of Baltimore players. This one is my favorite.



This one is the T205. Two minor league Orioles were featured...Adkins and Dunn. Both also appeared in the T206 and C46 sets:


There are other cards featuring Minor League Orioles, I believe, such as the 9 in the T206 set. I’m sure someone here will fill in the gaps for me.

John,

I don't believe I've even seen an example of any C46 cards. Thanks for showing me an Oriole example and a NICE one as well.

At least I've seen some of the T205 cards, but I like the look.

I know I've seen, at least, most of the Orioles T206 cards.
