Might be...
I would never think to contradict Bob Lemke, but my experience with these 1961 Keychain players varies. I have approx 6 different ones, and have had as many as 10 different stars/HOF players. Players like Ruth and Maris have no team name as the top as noted by Bob. Others, like Gehrig, Dean, Williams, Clemente all do have team names or parts of team names (I.e. Cards for Dean). All of the ones I have, with only a single exception, came in the plastic holders (all 9 with gold chains only BTW). The paper and printing on each is nearly identical, the sizes vary based on how much stuck out of the plastic holder.
I have had 6 graded by PSA and 2 by SGC. All have been documented as 1961 Keychain players. The players in the photo in this thread look good to me. Also, I have seen a few that were uncataloged so that might be the case with Brooks.
