NFS - Recently I found the 1969 Globe Import Checkerboard Back Card, which completes my Brooks Robinson PSA Master Set. I have 303 of the 303 items in the set. There are two versions of this card…plain back and the one below, the Checkerboard. Only two are graded. The other one graded is a PSA 8. I thought there was only one of these but through a little persistence, I found one to complete the set. Ironically, this is my least favorite item in the Brooks Robinson PSA Master Set. This will be the second time I completed the Brooks Master Set. God help me if something else is added, which I can’t find.

Charlie,
Any info why/when they made a checkerboard back one in addition to the common blank back ones? Thanks, Rich Quote:

Rich, no idea on the Checkerboard variation. Is out 18 months ago or so I learned about. A guy asked me if interested. I told him not really, then it was added to the Registry. I then sadly became interested. I believe each player in the “deck” has a variation. I am guessing they are very rare. I actually am not a fan but can’t not have something Brooks. Ha.

I found this at a flea market this weekend. I thought it was from the 1950s but I've never seen it before. It is about 3.5 inches square. Can anyone say where this is from?

NFS - I just got this Brooks item. It is a copy of the spring 1972 National Brewing Company's newsletter/booklet. Its cover story is about the Orioles 1971 trip to Japan. The cover photo show Brooks running towards second base after he has hit a homerun in one of the Japanese ballparks. The inside has several pages of stories about the trip and a handful of photos of Orioles players, wives, and Japanese hosts.
