In 1983 there was local set of baseball cards called “The Franchise” which were 40 cards related to Brooks Robinson’s career.

There were also two variations to this set; one has a home plate with a baseball located inside the plate on the upper left hand side of the card and the other variation has a HOF logo on the top left hand side of the card. Therefore, I’d really be covered for the next 80 days if I just posted one of these cards, per day, and we’d be good to go… Of course, I’m half way decent, so I won’t do it (even though I thought about it…). I’ll just post a couple examples from both of these sets.

I've always liked that set (years ago I had Brooks sign the first card). Am I dreaming or was there also a cassette tape narrated by Brooks in which he describes each card?
Love that Palmer item.....That certainly was an early signature of his.
