This Transogram advertising cardboard piece is from 1969 and features the American League players that were in the collector series of figures. As you can probably see they have Frank listed as Brooks and Brooks listed as Frank. Reminds me of a Frank quote: "I don't see why you reporters keep confusing Brooks (Robinson) and me. Can't you see that we wear different numbers." It’s so funny that they say the figures are in “realistic action”; ha!

I’ll follow this piece up with the Brooks Robinson 1969 Transogram box along with the “realistic action” figure. Man, it looks like I need to pick up another Brooks Transogram box in nicer shape.

I have the Brooks "card" cut out, fairly neatly, as well...

Mark,
I remember those figures well as a kid. I didn't really care for them then and still have a hard time warming up to them. As an 11 year old, I was more interested in the cards on the back, so my boxes got all cut up and the figures didn't last the riggers of play. I may attempt to pick up unopened boxes again someday.
Here's the rest of the 1969 Orioles and the tougher 1970 Boog Powell. I think mom cut out the Boog Powell card.
