Today we have the Michael Schechter Associates (MSA) discs. The MSA discs were used for advertising by several different companies by having their logo on the back of the baseball discs. Below are the Brooks Robinson MSA discs for 1976. I guess I should have pictured the fronts as well, but they look “almost” all the same…

1976 Buckmans Discs
1976 Carousel Discs
1976 Crane Potato Chips Discs
1976 Dairy Isle Discs
1976 Isalys/Sweet William Discs
1976 MSA Sports Blank Back Discs
1976 Orbackers Discs
1976 Red Barn Discs
1976 Safelon Discs
1976 Towne Club Discs

You may or may not have all his discs. Here is the link to all of Lou Brocks from various years with some variations as well as some ancillary items.

You can go stark raving mad trying to accumulate Carousel back stamps (I've got about 20 now).

David,

I have all of, I'd guess considered, the regular issue Brooks discs for '76 and '77, but I know I don't have near all of the Carousel back stamp variations. I doubt I have anywhere near 20 as well; maybe 10, but I don't have them organized so I can look for them all...

Default MSA Discs

Day 154 (June 2, 2020 – 154)

I might as well do the 1977 MSA discs today…

1977 Chilly Willee Discs
1977 Daily Isle Discs
1977 Detroit Caesars Discs
1977 Holiday Inn Discs
1977 MSA Customized Sports Discs
1977 Saga Discs
1977 Wendy's Discs
1977 Zipz Discs

Day 154 1977 MSA.jpg

While not really the same type of disc mentioned above, I’ll go ahead and include the 1977 MSA cup lid. Notice on this MSA lid pictured; it has the unpunched straw hole on the lid slightly off to the right of center, which is far scarcer than the common hole lid at the 12:00 mark .

The other day Alan posted some fantastic newspaper posters of Orioles players & asked for help with a checklist.

Unfortunately, my collection of these posters were pretty much limited to Cal Jr. (and occasionally Billy), but I do collect the newspaper vending box ad signs that promoted these posters.

Here are a few and I'll post a few more later on:

Mark,

Nice lids. Jim Palmer was the other Oriole included in all those sets. Additionally, in 1978 there were a couple other sets of lids that included Jim Palmer, but unfortunately didn't include Brooks Robinson.

While not a lid, in 1978 MSA also did a set of MLB Superstars sponsored by Pepsi-Cola. Distributed in the Ohio area, the set is heavy in Cincinnati Reds players

Has anyone seen any other of the MSA test lids, like the one David pictured on Page 5 using the Linnett drawing, within the Lou Brock thread?

Day 155 (June 3, 2020 – 155)

Here’s a Card Price Update (CPU) for June of 1984 that the pictures Brooks and Frank on the cover. It’s funny to me that they couldn’t find a picture that was not autographed to use and/or a picture that was autographed by both for the cover shot?

I do have this color picture signed by Brooks and Frank but cannot locate it at the moment.

Default Pins, Pins, Pins

Tried to organize some of my pins yesterday. I'll be the first to admit, it's an area of my collection that frustrates me the most. Except for a few issues, I find it difficult to find checklists or the ways pins are identified. I've seen the tag PM-10 used for many pins that I don't believe fit that label. I also have a hard time displaying them. I guess that's way most of them ended up in a box. Any suggestions for cataloging and displaying pins would be appreciated.

Here are a few favorites from my collection ...

1956 Topps Pins

In 1956, Topps produced a set of 60 pins. The set is gorgeous. Over the years, I sold most of my early Topps stuff to help fund my Orioles collection. Probably, the one item I wish I hadn't sold is my set of 1956 Topps pins. I was able to reacquire the four Orioles in the set - Hal Smith, Willy Miranda, Chuck Diering and Gus Triandos. Chuck Diering is one of the toughest ones in the set to find

1971 Unknown Stadium Pins

These pins have been discussed and posted on other threads, but I don't think here. These are beautiful pins. The best info I've seen suggested these were unlicenced pins from around 1971 and sold outside the ballparks. The four Orioles include Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Boog Powell and Jim Palmer.

2009 Pins based upon the 1967 Topps Test Discs

These last pins are fairly new, produced around 2009. They are a reproduction of the three Orioles in the 1967 Topps Test Disc set. I don't care they aren't worth much. I think they are neat and well done.

I tried to find this photo earlier to attach to my post, but couldn't. Here's the set of 1956 Topps pins I regret selling...

Now we can get a visual why you regret selling them...

Day 156 (June 4, 2020 – 156)

I didn’t really know about the company Markwort Sporting Goods until Brooks started to endorse their product. Markwort is a sporting goods business based out of St. Louis, Missouri that sells sports equipment. Believe it wasn’t till after retirement that Brooks endorsed some of their products. The following is a paper brochure for October of 1989 with Brooks on the front endorsing the Palmguard fielders’ glove (batting glove).
