It's signed by the entire Yaz Family, more than likely during spring training of Carl's rookie campaign... It has since been framed with a photo of Carl Sr. During his semi pro days! With his two sons (Richard and Carl) who were bat boys at the time....

Hattie is hidden behind the matte, but here's what it looks like now... Grouped with a photo of Carl sr with his boys Richard and carl jr

Some of the more vintage among my recent Yaz additions:



That's a Venezuelan.




Got my own 74 Topps Stamps panel. I think I'm going to separate the single though.

Very excited about this addition. The Peel Offs have DREADFUL centering problems. While not perfectly centered, it's hard to find one with this much white space on all 4 sides.

Your right; the peel-offs really do tend to be all over the place in regard to centering. You instruction back example looks great to me. Do you already have the blank back example? I have both examples of Brooks Robinson, but I picked them up years and years ago when most people didn't even think about centering (at least I didn't).

Unsure if you collect proofs, but several years ago I picked up some Brooks progressive proofs (color separations) of the peel offs. For some reason, unknown to me, I really like the proof stuff. Probably will be worth little to most others, but I like 'em.

No, I don't have the blank back yet, but I will eventually. I do collect proofs here and there and the peel off proofs sound awesome! I'd like to see your Brooksie proofs.

Not the greatest picture of the proofs, but I think you can get a pretty good idea what they look like.
