I have 3 of the Frank Robinson’s and a signed and unsigned Brooks Robinson. I am missing a few variations (Dalmyple, Drabowski, Northrup, Pappas). I am missing Brandt, Heard, Held, Phoebus, Stephens, Triandos, and Wilhelm. If anyone wants to trade for a Frank Robinson for any above, keep me in mind.

Charlie,

I really like the MCCarthy postcards. I believe I have all the known Orioles & variations (31 total). By far, the two hardest to find are the Jehosie Heard and Milt Pappas (squatting) postcards. Good luck.

Here's the 31 known Orioles JD McCarthy postcards includes an extra Pappas

Day 329 – 24 November 2024
Back on 15 January 2024, I provided some details about the First Annual Cracker Jack Old Timers Baseball Game at RFK Memorial Stadium, Washington, D.C. on Monday, July 19, 1982 at 8:00 PM. I showed you a poster, Program and Brooks Sheet from the 82 card set included. Recently, I found the ticket, newspaper clipping of Brooks Robinson and the box score. It appears Brooks went 1 for 1. Below is a picture of these things. Pretty cool.

Charlie...I nearly bid on that stub/clippings myself (happy you got it).

Speaking of eBay, on a whim a week or so ago I bid on this 1964 Orioles/Red Sox game used baseball, just because I thought it was neat (and the price was right).

Brooks went 1 for 1 with a double and three walks while Milt Pappas was the Winning Pitcher (pitching all nine innings):

Hey Mark, that jersey is fantastic! How long have you owned it?

Picked the jersey up in the early 90’s (believe it was ‘91) from a former Brooks collector that was basically selling his collection which included this jersey.

If Brooks is wearing B&W Pony cleats I have those as well (Page 35).

What’s on the back of the jersey Mark ?
