Day 128 (May 7, 2020 – 128)

The 1964 Wheaties Stamps were a 50-stamp release and measure approximately 2 1/2” x 2 3/4”. The set was designed to lead up to the 1964 All Star Game at Shea. They used a picture of Brooks in a batting pose with the cool looking Oriole bird on his sleeve.

Does anyone happen to have the Wheaties Major League All-Star Baseball Player Stamp Album? I know I don’t…

Keeping with the same year, in 1964 Topps Stand-Ups were another great set consisting of 77 cards. They are blank-backed and unnumbered cards. They were meant to be punched out which allows them to stand on the green base, but the majority (possibly all) of collectors desire them unpunched.

Mike (Baseballcrazy62) is doing a 1964 Topps Stand-Up autograph chase. At last count he was at thirty-seven cards in the set signed. I don’t have an autographed Brooks example, but he does; quite nice.

The Brooks Stand Up is sweet... send that in for grading if the back is clean!
The 64 Wheaties are a nice set with nice color photography. Easy to put together and fairly inexpensive compared to other sets of the 60s.

Unique Japanese magazine that not only re-capped the '83 MLB season but the World Series as well....Also has a neat four page spread on the '71 Orioles visit.

Hi Bill,

I love that Japanese magazine and have never seen it before. If you ever decide to sell it, please let me know!

Mark, those are two outstanding Brooksie items.

I received a very thoughtful gift in the mail from Phil (Phil68). It's a 1952 Topps style flexichrome card #318 of Brooks. While I'm typically not really into custom cards I really like what Phil has done and accomplished with the cards he's making. Man, the card looks even better in hand than in the picture. What a kind and gracious gift; these are the type of things that make this hobby great...

LOVE IT Phil!
