Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[BaltOrioles]

After a few emails this morning, we lost our power for the entire day. Huge wind storm in Maine and I lost a few big limbs off some trees. Anyway, I just realized nobody has posted today, since Mark's awesome Brooks stand-up. I've never seen it before and it's very cool.

Here's a few more O-Pee-Chee variations for those of you that care about such things. I'm still working on this two sets myself.

1981 O-Pee-Chee

All of the 1981 O-Pee-Chee cards can be found with cream white backs (common) and gray backs (estimated at 20-25% the quantity of the white backs). A common problem for O-Pee-Chee cards are centering issues.

1990 O-Pee-Chee

The 1990 O-Pee-Chee cards have a little twist. All the cards come with gray backs, but only the cards with blue borders (Bradley, Holton and Tettleton in the scan) also come in white backs. Interesting, the white backs seem to be more common than the gray backs, in this group. Again, this only applies to the blue bordered cards. I have no idea why only the blue borders are affected.

The two Mickey Tettleton cards illustrate the gray/white variation.
