Robert,

That's a very nice Brooks/Rockwell item. Thanks so much for posting a picture of it once it was framed. All those together makes for a GREAT display. How did you come across the Brooks and Rockwell notes? Also, did you get the "Thanks Brooks" poster signed yourself or was it purchased that way?

Thanks again!

Mark

Robert,

Oh...By the way, your name Swoboda doesn't have to do anything with Rob Swoboda does it? I HOPE not!! If so I'm "STILL" upset about the catch in the '69 WS where he robbed Robby...!

Well, the Brooks note came from member Trsent who sold some other items on ebay recently. The Brooks print ,Rockwell letter ($75, 6 yrs ago) are from ebay. I met Brooks 12 years ago and got his full name and gold glove awards extra to a baseball:

Re: Brooks Robinson Memorabilia

Thought you were one of those miracle Mets fans! That was one of the GREATEST catches I ever saw; "Rocky" got the best of us during that Series.

What do you collect? Are you a Met collector, or single player collector (Swaboda)? Sounds like you have an interesting collection if you have Brooksie in it. By the way, those are some really "nice" items.
