Today I am showing you a program from Day 161 – 10 June 2024
Today I am showing you a program from the 10th Annual Shrine of Immortals Night, July 16, 1969. This program was done between games with the Indians. They celebrated some of the greatest Oriole players. On the inside you can see photos and details of players from 1954 through 1968. Then, you see a photo and details of the latest inductee to the Shrine of Immortals – Babe Phelps. He played professionally from 1931 – 1942 with a career average of .310. The shrine is for Maryland Athletes. 10th Annual Shrine of Immortals Night, July 16, 196

Day 163 – 12 June 2024
Not sure I have posted this before but today I am showing you a post card from Sunday September 18, 1977 celebrating Brooks Robinson, which was coined as “Thanks Brooks Day!” The post card has his photo on one side and some details about the day with a free handout to the attendees.

Very nice! I hadn’t seen one of these before until you showed me this in the past. I still haven’t picked one up or seen any available.

Mark, not sure I could explain where I found the post card above. Always looking, for sure.

164 - 13 June 2024
In 1967 and 1968 Topps published two pin-ups for kids. The 1967 and 1968 copies are the same but one is printed in the USA and the other was printed in Canada. The 1967 copy is easy to find and can grade nicely with PSA. The 1968 O-Pee-Chee or Canada version is hard to find with good centering, as depicted in the picture. The set includes 32 different players and they are 5 in X 7 in. They could be found in wax packs folded up.

Day 165 – 14 June 2024
Today I am showing you a PSA graded Brooks Robinson 1960 Topps Salesman Sample cut from a panel. The Salesman Sample Panels were another way for Topps to advertise their cards. The salesman would use these to promote that years cards. The 1960 version panels came in 3 card strips with two of the cards featuring part of an add on the reverse side and the 3d card having an example of the actual card back, but of a different player. PSA graded my Brooks as “Authentic. Notice the back of the card.
