Default Brooks Robinson Deckle Edge Cards

Day 335 – 30 November 2024
Another odd ball item found in the Brooks Robinson PSA Master Set are the Deckle Edge Cards. The Deckle Edge Cards from Topps appeared in 1969 and 1974. The 1969 Topps Deckle Edge Set consists of 33 cards. They were inserted in the 1969 regular issue card packs. The card is black and white with the likeness of the player and a blue facsimile signature. On the back the player name appears with a number in a small rectangle. There are two variations with Jim Wynn/Hoyt Wilhelm and Joe Foy/Rusty Staub. The Brooks is #1 in the set of 33. My Brooks copy is a PSA 7; I am always looking for a higher graded copy. I also have the proof. Also, in 1969 you could find a O-Pee-Chee version that only included 24 players with a black signature and blank back. I have a PSA 8 for the O-Pee-Chee version. The 1974 version of the Deckle Edge included 72 cards with a photo of the player and a facsimile signature with a white or gray back that included details about the player. The card is larger measuring 2 7/8 inches X 5 inches. The white back is harder to find. Today, I am showing you PSA 8 Grayback and PSA 9 Whiteback along with a Grayback Proof. I would love to collect the Deckle Edge set but the cards are hard to find and very expensive.

You’re only missing the ‘74 White Back proof to “complete” the display… While typically the white backs are harder to locate I’m sure there are a handful of proofs still out there.

Mark, don’t think I have seen the white back proof but agree.

Day 336 – 1 December 2024
Like yesterday, today I am showing another odd ball set that featured Brooks Robinson. In 1968, 1969 and 1972. The 1968 Milton Bradley Set included 132 cards in a board game. The cards are a brighter color on the back. The card is very similar to the 1968 Topps Set. My version is graded a PSA 7. In 1969 Milton Bradley had another baseball game that featured MLB players. The board game included 296 unnumbered cards. The card is 2 in x 3 in. The 1969 card is a PSA 8 (tied highest graded). The 1972 set includes 402 cards. The photos are the same in the 1969 and 1972 sets, but have different values in the game on the back. The 1972 card is a PSA 6 with one graded higher.

A easy way to tell the Milton Bradley’s apart is the 1972 cards have a “base” on the bottoms of the Red number 1s on the back of card and the 1969 doesn’t.

Default 1965 Topps Transfers

Day 337 – 2 December 2024
Today’s oddball set is the Topps 1965 Transfers. I have never seen one put to use but understand they were “iron ons.” This set includes 72 different transfers of players. This transfer was an insert to the 1965 baseball card wax pack. The transfer measures 2 in x 3 in. I find the transfers to be hard to identify the players. Numbers HoF’ers were included in the set to include Brooks Robinson who is shown below with the rest of the set. The PSA 8 is part of my Brooks Master set and is highest graded.
