always nice to receive a nice card in the mail which lives up to expectations and maybe even better, but it's an added bonus when it's a nice looking rookie card of a player whom i grew up admiring because he was just so darn good at what he did.

one of the best ever to roam the hot corner. enjoy.

    Nice card! I'm a big Brooks fan, I think he is underrated.

    One of the more youthful countenances on any card--he looks like he's 15 years old. Just a great, classic card. Nice!

    Hi Jeff

    Very nice card! Are you gonna get it graded?

    What grade did the seller assign? My guess? Exmt to Exmt+?

    Thanx for sharing.

    thanks one and all for your comments, this is the first time in quite awhile i've had a Brooksie this nice, so yes it will eventually go in for grading and and become a new addition to my PSA collection.

    in 1971, i was 9 years old and played shortstop for my LL team, the Orioles. image

    of course, at the time i was very impressionable and developed a fondness for the Baltimore team and particularly the actions of their star 3rd baseman, so i started patterning my defensive game the way he did it, diving and leaping at grounders and line drives with reckless abandon.

    late in the season, i made a move towards a grounder which carried me into the path of an oncoming baserunner and as i dove the kid crashed into me, breaking my left wrist.

    i missed the last two games of the season. we finished 1 and 11.

    missed the playoffs.

    i was the team MVP, though. that felt good. image
