Day 202 (July 20, 2020 – 202)

Thought it would be fun to have a “Miscellaneous Monday”. Just a random couple Brooks and/or Oriole items for this day.

Around 1974-1975, artist Charles Linnett produced some really drawings of baseball players and other sports stars. While I wish the drawings included hats, I still like the quality of his art. Several players were done after they left the Orioles, but without caps I still include them in my collection.

The main difference between years, is the addition of a printed name in the lower left corner. There is still a Rich Coggins drawing I would like to pick up, but I think I have the most of the rest of the Orioles.

Day 203 (July 21, 2020 – 203)

I saw this piece when I first started collecting Brooks, but missed out. I failed to get a picture of the item at the time and just had an image in my mind of what the item looked like, but wasn’t positive who was on the cover with Brooks. A few years ago it was posted again, I believe on eBay, with a low BIN and I couldn’t get it fast enough. I’m sure for most people this is not something they may even want in their collection, but I think these type of things are both fun and unique.

Good afternoon,

I keep meaning to mention, Bill, I love that Esskay Christmas card. And Mark, that 1970 Orioles ruler is really cool.

I've posted several Japanese magazines featuring Cal Ripken before but I was recently able to acquire another one.

Day 204 (July 22, 2020 – 204)

Since Mike posted a Japanese magazine yesterday I might as well follow up with another example. This foreign magazine was pictured by Howard (hcv123) in an early post (#30) and here’s a copy I picked up after several years of searching. I don’t read Japanese so I’m unsure what the magazine is called, but I believe it’s from 10/28/71 and lists Baltimore Orioles on the cover. There’s Frank, Brooks and Boog on a super cool designed cover.
