Default Baltimore Orioles 1970 WS Carl Alana Set

Day 74 – 15 March 2024
Another interesting set Brooks Robinson appeared in was the 1970 Carl Aldana set. This set commemorated the 1970 WS Championship. Brooks appears on two different cards. Both cards are of him diving. On one you can see his face while the other shows his back. The card is from his famous diving catch. This set included 12 small cards including the 2 of Brooks with a blank back. I have provided a picture of the set and Brooks graded cards. Carl Aldan was a west coast artist that played college baseball but was mostly a non-sports artist (landscapes). I am not sure how these cards were distributed. He made another set of random players in 1971. He made a PCL set about 40 years later.
