Speaking about Brooks Robinson cards, take a look at the thread I started in the Modern Baseball Cards Forum (1980-Present) forum titled 1997 Topps Rookie Reprint Autographs. Brooksie's card is included in a variation you most likely do not have.
I just picked up an uncut sheet of them with the Certified Autographs Gold Foil stamps WITHOUT the autographs.
I am waiting for Topps Experts Al Richter and Dav.e Hornis.h to comment on if they have been seen without the autographs WITH the foil stamp.
Also it is my belief that this sheet has the only cards of Ashburn with the gold foil stamp as his cards were NOT issued autographed because he died before he could sign the cards.
