Day 130 – 10 May 2024
I really enjoy the old Orioles Press Guides. This one has the Decker Bird on the front cover. This press guide is from 1963. It is very clean. I do not have the complete run but am chipping away at the older copies. |

Day 131 – 11 May 2024
I recently found this 1973 Sunpapers newspaper cardboard cover for a dispensing machine. I assume the player is Bobby Grich. It is not in the best shape but it is displayable. It has a little color with the top and bottom words and the player graphic is very nice. I have a bunch of the newspaper advertisements but none as old as this one. |

Recently picked up this signed, GU hat (1997) of Orioles catcher Lenny Webster. I'm sure most of you here know that Webster was the last Oriole to wear #42:

Day 132 – 12 May 2024
I recently had a collector and seller call me to see if I was interested in a small collection of Brooks Robinson items. He is someone I hold in high regard and very connected in Baltimore. Anyway, I met him on Saturday 20 Apr 23 at the Westminster, MD card show to see what he had. With him, he had a couple binders from an old Baltimore Oriole equipment manager. His name was Mike Zolotorow. Mike not only had a relationship with the Orioles, but him and Brooks appeared to be friendly and he worked for Brooks at his Sporting Goods Store. The centerpiece of the collection is a Brooks Robinson Sporting Goods Co, Inc binder. Clint showed his the other day…Hope ok if I show this one. The binder has the Company name, address, signature, images of Brooks and details about Brooks. The binder mentions Brooks as a 11 time gold glove winner so the binder must be around 1971 or 1972. The binder was a little dirty so I cleaned it up and it looks brand new. Within the binder was a bunch of catalogs for sporting goods. One in particular was a Rawlings equipment catalog that included all the different gloves of the day to include Brooks’ gloves and other player gloves to include Heart of the Hide. I have a few more items to show. |

It's interesting to note that the Sporting Goods store used the same images on the cover of their binders as the Equitable Life Insurance Co. did in their ad:

Charles that binder is in great shape, plus your Oriole head has the complete orange on it while mine has white.
