Thanks for the post. I notified a couple of diehard Brooks people. I don't see anything earthshattering here in terms of equipment though, but still some neat stuff...

I'm a game used collector...to me this looks more like a garage sale than a "collection"....where's the "good stuff"

I agree.

Lot 191, 240, and 250 are items I am interested in and everything else seems like freebies Brooks picked up after his career ended.

Maybe he should put these items on eBay.
