In 1972, a set of postcards were printed by Pro Star Promotions out of Canada. They aren't especially attractive, but do have a nice selection of Orioles. The set includes a total of 37 postcards with the checklist card. Being printed in Canada, the set is heavy on Montreal Expos players. The are 12 AL Stars, 12 NL Stars and 12 Expos. The backs are blank. I assume they weren't licensed since there aren't any team logos. Not too hard to find.

4 out of the 12 AL Stars are Orioles. The checklist also indicated a set of posters were available.

Dave McNally, Boog Powell, Merv Rettenmund and Brooks Robinson

Alan,

So, do you have the Boog Powell poster? I�ve never even seen the Powell poster.

As many of you know, game used pitcher's bats are not easy to come by. Recently picked up a Milt Pappas game issued bat for the '62 All Star game in Washington. Pappas never made a plate appearance during the game, although, he did pitch the 9th inning retiring the side in order.

Hal,

Those GU pitcher bats are awesome; congrats on picking up another. Also, I really like how you have the bats displayed. One day we �need� a picture of that great looking room you have OR a tour would be fine...

For many years, the Norfolk Tides had a photo giveaway on selected Sundays throughout the season. The promotion started while the Tides were a Mets affiliate and continued when the Orioles came to town in 2007. Unfortunately, the Tides discontinued the promotion in 2019.

The photos are 9x12 and on thicker poster paper. The backs have stats and bio of player. There were usually 4000 passed out at each game and the featured player was available to sign them before the game. I really like them a lot. There were 8 photos per year from 2007-2017, but only 5 photos in 2018. Through a connection at the Tides, I have been able to get 86 out of the 93 photos from the time the Tides started with the Orioles. I would love to complete the sets.

Here are samples and checklists from each year

2007 - #1 Mike Cervenak, #2 Jason Dubois, #3 JR House, #4 Garrett Olson, # 8Terry Tiffee, Cory Doyne and Tike Redmond are not numbered (One unknown player that I don't have)

No and I've never seen it either, but I assume it's a similar pose to the postcard.

I�ve seen a picture of the Stargell and Clemente and they are the same pose as the postcard.

The picture is the same but the facsimile autograph is placed differently. I own the Stargell and I have seen the Clemente from another poster on this board.

Those have to be rare. Thanks for the information on the facsimile autograph being in different locations. If you have an opportunity I�d really like to see the Stargell. I can�t remember where I saw a picture of it in the past, but did see it before. I know Howard (hcv123) has a Clemente poster and has shown it in the past.

I respectfully disagree. I think this set is beautiful and among the best of the 1970s.
