Thanks for the pics as I think the only one I have is the 61. Weirdly I am not a fan of 57 Topps but really like that one. I would definitely vote the 58 as the worst looking one.

Ben,

You definitely wouldn't be in minority with the '58. I like the setup on the '58 just not the pose of Brooks that Topps chose.

Honestly, my favorite Brooks card. I also like his '62 & '71

I am guessing this is a fantasy/custom. Can you post a pic of the back? Also could you tell me about the green label PSA flip, is it just a way to get custom cards slabbed? Thanks

[Phil68]

Sure. The reverse of that particular card is below. It has since been changed to the reverse that is used in our "Lost" series as the "On Deck" series is retired.

The green label, like many PSA offerings, is inconsistently applied. For a few years they have holdered dozens of my custom cards. You can see some of them in the immediate sale section of the BantyRed.com website.

A woman named Veronica Lopez (a stellar and knowledgeable collector, to be sure ) took over and said my cards were "Too Real" for the green flip holders--even after adding production date and "art card".
Meanwhile, if I send them back in a month, they'll likely holder them again.
The question is...why have the green holder at all if not for an art card or the like???

Buyers of my cards typically send them in here and there with positive results.
A plan is in place coming soon for art cards that will add to their collectibility...I'm working tirelessly on it every day.
