Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

In 1955, Robert Gould Company issued a set of All-Star statues. The company was located in New York, but I don't know much more about them. The series contained 28 player statues. The statues were made of hard white plastic. They measure up to 3 1/2" tall. They come with round bases and the player's names embossed on the front. The statues were sold attached by rubber band to a card that had a drawing of the player and stats. The cards seem to be much more difficult to find than the statues. There were several other sets of statues by Dairy Queen and Big League Stars in 1956, that have a similar look to the Robert Gould set, but I don't believe they included cards.

The only set to include an Oriole was the Robert Gould set.

I really like the Gould statue. Would have been better if they added more Orioles. While I like the statue I like the card even better. Those have to be tough to find.
