Did you know Brooks was a business man?
Back in the 60'S & 70'S Brooksipersted a restaurant. Brooks Robinson’s Gorsuch House was located at 511 Gorsuch Avenue, off of Greenmount between 32nd and 33rd streets. Brooks Robinson was a part-owner from around 1964 to 1977 Waverly’s Gorsuch House originally shared a name with another Oriole (and Robinson) before Brooks Robinson entered into partial ownership with former Orioles coach Eddie Robinson in the early 1960s. The menu had many Maryland favorites. Here are a couple items from the restaurant…a matchbooks and napkin. Would love to find a glass ash tray.

It can be done in 61
NFS - Not directly Brooks related. The Orioles were ready for a big year in 1961 and their motto was, “It can be done in 61.” Here, I show a larger bumper sticker, napkin and a Christmas Card. Are any of you familiar with other related items with this slogan?

1969 Globe Imports Checkerboard Back Card
NFS - Recently I found the 1969 Globe Import Checkerboard Back Card, which completes my Brooks Robinson PSA Master Set. I have 303 of the 303 items in the set. There are two versions of this card…plain back and the one below, the Checkerboard. Only two are graded. The other one graded is a PSA 8. I thought there was only one of these but through a little persistence, I found one to complete the set. Ironically, this is my least favorite item in the Brooks Robinson PSA Master Set. This will be the second time I completed the Brooks Master Set. God help me if something else is added, which I can’t find.

Charlie,
Any info why/when they made a checkerboard back one in addition to the common blank back ones? Thanks, Rich Quote:

1969 Globe Import
Rich, no idea on the Checkerboard variation. Is out 18 months ago or so I learned about. A guy asked me if interested. I told him not really, then it was added to the Registry. I then sadly became interested. I believe each player in the “deck” has a variation. I am guessing they are very rare. I actually am not a fan but can’t not have something Brooks. Ha.
