There have been some nice alternate orange jerseys being posted lately. In 1977, the Orioles used the alternate jersey for many of their team issued postcards. It marked the last postcards printed of Brooks as a player. The Orioles have done several postcards of Brooks after his retirement for various signing opportunities. This also marked the first postcards of a young Eddie Murray.
I believe both Brooks and Eddie were probably double printed on the sheets, as both have multiple variations that included either a cropping or name placement change. The backs are blank, except for two postcards. The Orioles reused 1976 postcards of Al Bumbry (I don't have) and Jim Palmer (2nd one) and printed a message to planholders encouraging them to come watch the 1977 Orioles. There could be other players that were reused with the spring training message. I would love to know if there are others out there.
