Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

Does anyone else enjoy the Nabisco Team Flakes Set from 1969? 24 cards. They were found on the box of cereal with 8 players. There were 3 different panels. I have the Complete set graded along with all 3 complete panels. I am fortunate to have two complete panels with Brooks. I also have 13 two player panels graded to include the one here with Brooks. Would love to find the others one with Marichal. Here, you see a single, two player panel, and a complete panel with Brooks. Recently sent a thick border Brooks off to PSA for grading. Lots of options with this simple 24 player hand cut set.

Evening. Below are some of my favorite items that feature Brooks. Very rare. I collect the Orioles Sets for the 1960 - 1963 Baltimore News Post (BNP) hand cut newspaper cards. Hit a tough spot trying to find a few I am missing. I am Missing 1960 #49 Courtney and four in 1962 (Cosgrove, Williams, Hall and Ward). Below are the 1960, 61,62, and 63 Brooks BNP. Not in perfect shape but I am ecstatic to have found these. I have quite a few doubles if anyone has what I am missing. Also featured is the 1970 Dayton Daily News hand cut card. This is another impossible “card” to find. I was lucky to get this graded and added to the PSA Master. For whatever reason, they will not add the BNP to the PSA Brooks Master set, nor grade em. Enjoy.

I have always loved this set Charlie! My dad and I bought my first two - Franks and Brooks at a show in Baltimore in 1981. I have since completed the set.
Cool cards!

Any one else have a Brooks English’s Chicken Lid? These are tough to find. Wish I could go back in time and find a few.

Charlie,

See post #2730. In my opinion, the Brooks Robinson and Ross Grimsley lids are the two toughest. Maybe just my experience.

Good evening. One of my favorite sets and boxes is the 1964 Big 8. This box includes 2 four player panels or 8 individual cards. Here, I show th me 4 player panel and the individual card. I am a huge fan of this set. I am # 2 on the PSA Registry with this set. Hope to some day find the complete box. There are similar premium colored photos with a few variations.
