Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

Day 171 – 20 June 2024
Another recent find from Japan is a 1978 and 1979 Magazine. The white copy is from 1978 and has Brooks and Palmer featured. The blue copy is from 1979 and features Palmer. They are both in excellent shape.

Day 172 – 21 June 2024
In 1969 the Tasco Posters were published including a number of Orioles. I am showing you a signed copy of Brooks Robinson and Dave McNally (unsigned). These caricatures measured 11.5 x 16. I am tracking 47 different posters including the two Orioles shown. You could get them in the mail for 2 for $1 or 5 for $2 plus $.25 for shipping handling.

Day 173 – 22 June 2024
A few days ago I showed you a 1974 Topps Stamp Proof and today, I dug up my 1963 Exhibit Proof of Brooks with three other players (McBride, Herbert, and Wills. This proof measures 11x14. I have the complete set of Exhibits with all of the variations. What a task that was.

NICE; really like the Exhibit proof.

Thanks, Mark. I was pleased to find.

Day 174 – 23 June 2024
Today I am showing you two complete panels of the 1971 Topps Tattoos double folded with Brooks Robinson (top left corner on each). The set includes 16 different panels or sheets. This sheet is #16 and has two of the same one attached together. This panel is readily available but I have only ever seen one with two of the Brooks panels together. I completed the panel set a few months ago. Some of them are expensive and hard to find in nice condition.

Day 175 – 24 June 2024
I have always wanted to frame this but it is just too big. I really enjoy this oversized photo of Brooks Robinson with his trimmed helmet and a Johnny Bench catching in the 1970 WS. The photo measures 20x16. The photo was printed in 1983 by Tadder.

Get that photo framed… I think mine is an 16x20 as well and have had it since early ‘90’s; you can probably tell by the frame/matte style. I received mine from Tadder and had it displayed since then in different areas of the house. Now it resides in my small O’s room.

[Chstrite]

How many of you collect random photos or non-team issued photos of Brooks Robinson. I have quite a few. Not sure what year this is but here is Brooks advertising for Schottenstein’s Department Stores.

[Chstrite]

Day 179 – 28 June 2024
Here is another random photo of Brooks Robinson Advertising himself with Busch Beer. I wonder if Brooks was a beer drinker. Pretty nice photo. I also picked up a Miller Lite beer dispenser with a ball signed. I need a way to display the dispenser.

Back in the day I picked almost any type of different poses of Brooks on a photo.

Day 180 - 29 June 2024
For the next 2 weeks leading up to the All Star game, I will show you some items I have collected over the years celebrating Brooks Robinson AS games along with the two years (1958 and 1993) Baltimore hosted the game. 1958 All Star Game was the first AS game in Baltimore at Memorial Stadium. The 1958 AS game had Triandos behind the plate who went 1 for 2. The AL won 4 to 3. Today, I am showing you two pennants from the AL team (both very rare and expensive), a pin back, the program, ticket and press pin.

Great looking pennants! Really like the look of those two examples. I wanted to pick up a press pin when I first started collecting, but never did; probably my favorite looking pin.

[roarfrom34]

The two Oriole representatives in that game

[Chstrite]

Mark, I agree on the press pin. What a beauty. One on eBay for $125 but missing back pin. Not perfect it an option.

[Chstrite]

Bill, thanks for sharing the post marked envelopes. I enjoy finding things relating to the Orioles and AS Game. I hope we host one again soon. Two in 70 years does not seem right.

[Chstrite]

Day 181 - 30 June 2024
1993 All Start Game was the second all star game in Baltimore at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Not sure why Baltimore has been shunned from hosting the mid-summer classic. We have 2 AS games in 70 years. The AL won 9 to 3. Cal Ripken (he was 0 for 3) was the starting SS and Mike Mussina was on the team but never entered the game. Today, I am showing you a few miscellaneous things, pennant, the program, press pins, coaster, ticket and Travis Fryman locker room tag.

Hi everyone,

I recently picked up from a fellow message board member this c. late 1950's - early 1960's piece promoting the Gorsuch House restaurant in Baltimore.

It only features Eddie Robinson (pictured on the front in a Yankees uniform), so it must be before Brooks invested in the same restaurant.

The piece is like a little booklet that folds open. The colors inside with a cartoon rendition of Eddie are still very nice. It is blank-backed.

Has anyone seen this one before and know anything else about it?

Mike, I have a future post on some new items I found on Gorsuch items. Have not seen this one. Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Curious what “board” you receive in your message.

Thanks!

Today I am showing you a 1975 Orioles Uncut Team sheet SSCP. Included is Brooks Robinson. Unfortunately, this is only 15 of the 27 Orioles in the Set and Palmer is missing. I have never seen the sheet with Palmer. I am sure it is not too rare and out there.

Charlie,

I really liked this set when it first came out. FYI - there are two variations of the Brooks Robinson card. The second variation has part of his hat cropped at the top.


1976 SSPC #3.JPG

[roarfrom34]

I always liked this set too....What I found neat about it was that the majority of the Orioles (and other A.L. teams) photos were taken at Shea Stadium (where the Yankees played during their stadium's renovation).

[Mark70Z]

I was going through some junk and came across a photo of Brooks I believe in front of the GORSUCH HOUSE. Unsure if I posted this before, but several items have been posted previously and thought this may be an interesting addition.
