Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[BaltOrioles]

Here's a set that is on my radar, but that I don't actively pursue. I believe the 1967 Topps Punch-Outs were a test issue in the Maryland area. They were issued in perforated panels of three cards per pack. There are 6 Orioles in the set, along with several photo variations. The Orioles include Luis Aparicio, Steve Barber, Andy Etchebarren, Boog Powell, Frank Robinson and Russ Snyder. Brooks Robinson was supposed to be part of the set and actually appears in the line up on several cards. It is believed that Brooks was never issued. Here's a link to a Bob Lemke article about the cards.

Someday I may try to complete the Orioles set. Prices and condition have slowed the process. I don't want any that have been punched out. I do have a couple, Andy Etchebarren and Russ Snyder. You will notice that the two Russ Snyders have different line ups as well as a slight photo cropping difference. I'm sure most of the players come in several variations.

Larry,

Thanks so much for the info. I guess I'm a lot farther from an Orioles master set than I thought.

Yes. Reposted photos for those wondering what Larry is referring to.

Sorry no. I have heard there is another set out there somewhere, but don't know who has it.
