I try to find the not so ordinary cards of Brooksie. Today I’m going to show an ordinary 1969 Topps #550 base or regular issue card. I think the back of the ’69 card has nice color and setup.
Mark,

One thing I've learned from this thread is that even ordinary items can provide an interesting story. I've picked up a lot of great new information from many of you about items I thought I already knew about.

I've had a 1981 Orioles O-Pee-Chee team set since almost 1981. Little did I know that they come in gray backs as well as the more common cream/white backs. Of course, I'm now trying to complete a set that I thought was already complete. I've found the centering on the gray backs to be challenging at best.

Examples of the 1981 OPC backs
