Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[jjp3rd]

I picked this up in an auction over the weekend. It actually looked familiar to me….I feel like I’ve seen someone wearing it at a game back in the day. More pics to follow.

Today is National Hot Dog Day and I thought I'd post this limited edition 10 Minute Phone Card (#'d out of 500) put out by Esskay in 1998

and I know I posted this over a year ago but here is one of their vendor carriers:

Thank you. I hadn’t seen those buttons before, and some cursory internet searches didn’t turn up much, so that was one of the reasons I bid on the lot. I feel like I did well on it.

Can you give me more info on the buttons? I was guessing late 60s/early 70s. No clue on who issued them.

I probably can’t offer much help on the pinbacks, but I think they are early ‘70’s, some collectors say ‘71, and as far as I know are unlicensed. No one that I have discussed these with knows much specifics. I know there’s a Frank and Palmer Oriole example as well. I do know they are super cool looking!

There have been several threads on Net54 about those pins. The consensus seems to feel they are from 1971. Many of them go for several hundred dollars when they show up on eBay.

Here are the four Orioles in the set. They are very nice looking.

Love that pin set and I still need the Frank Robinson if anyone has an extra.
