There are 13 Orioles in the set and I have found the higher numbers much harder to find. I'm guessing kids got tired of cutting them out over the summer. In fact, I've never seen what the Brooks Robinson looks like.
They also reprinted a couple Orioles in 1971, #5 Frank Robinson and #34 Boog Powell, with some stat changes.
I have 9 out of 13 of the 1970 cards. I'm missing #143 Merv Rettenmund, #154 Brooks Robinson, #157 Paul Blair and #159 Mark Belanger.

Alan,
Your examples of the Dayton Daily News seem to be in really nice shape for a newspaper cutout item. Thanks for sharing since I really didn't know what most of the Oriole examples looked like.
Here's my relatively ugly example of Brooks' DDN cutout...
