Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

Day 16 – 16 January 2024
Hope you enjoyed the posters. I would now like to show and discuss some of my pins and buttons. My very favorite is the 1959 PM10 of Brooks Calbert Robinson. This pin is very scarce. There is also one with his middle name spelled incorrectly. You rarely see this pin and when you do, be prepared to shell out a few dollars. There are other Orioles in this set but none as rare or as nice as Brooks. I have a Triandos and Gentile. I believe there are a total of 12 PM 10s featuring Orioles. They are very expensive and hard to find. Show us your PM10 Oriole Pins. More pins tomorrow.

Day 17 – 17 January 2024
Here are a few of the Orioles World Series Pins, Clasps, Broaches and Charms. I tried to organize them by World Series year in a row starting at the top with 1966, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1979, and 1983. Then, from left to right you will find the clasp, pin, charm and broach. I am not exactly sure if all four types were made for each year but always looking. My favorite is 1970 (“3rd World Series). The detail is very nice. I really like the 1971 Japan version (fourth row, far right…not in the best condition). You’ll notice 1969 does not say anything about the year, just the “Baltimore Orioles and World Series.” There are some phantom WS versions out there from the 1960s, too.

I really never got into the press pins, even though I have a few. I guess I should at least add the main ones to the collection at some point. Looking at the photo it makes me wanting to add the different types of pins as well. Thanks for posting them all...

Mark, I am addicted to the press pins. The new ones are nice but really appreciate the 1958 AS pin and the WS ones featuring the Orioles.

Charlie,

Here are some of the phantom World Series press pins. I also included the 1984 Orioles Japan Tour pin.

I also have the two different 1989 phantom W.S. pins, but don't have a scan of them. The 1960's phantoms are pretty tough to find, but the 1989 pins are very easy. Sorry the scans are the best. They look much better in person. LOL

Alan, the 1960 and 1984 are really nice. Thanks for sharing.

Day 18 – 18 January 2024
In 1969, the Orioles had 4 players appear on a MLB button but that is sort of orange. Today, I am showing you Frank, Palmer and Brooksie. I am missing Boog Powell. Not sure why, but you rarely see the Orioles in these, especially Brooks and Boog. I believe Boog appears on a normal size and smaller version. Someone will correct me as I have not seen the two and their differences. A lot of HoF players appeared on this set. On FB, a Bench just sold for $1,500 or so.

Why in heck is Brooksie wearing what I can only assume is a #15 jersey on that button???

I always wondered that myself. Maybe Davey went to the studio group photo session and Brooks wasn't feeling it to bring his jersey and Davey had to give one up for the team and that's why Brooskie has that smirk on his face in the photo. I'm pretty sure I'm fairly right-on for the reasoning...

Charlie,

Here's the Boog Powell. Mine is the same size as the Robinsons and Palmer. I've never seen a smaller version.

There is a thread on this site that mentions these pins fairly regularly. Maybe someone on there can verify the smaller Powell
