Day 75 – 16 March 2024
Another favorite regional set I have is the orange 1970 Orioles Pictures of Champions Set. I believe this set is incorrectly marked by PSA as 1971. This set similar to yesterday’s Aldana set celebrates the 1970 World Series Championship of the Orioles. This set includes 16 Orioles including Brooks. I was able to find a second Brooks on ebay that is ungraded. I found it for about $5. I was not sure what it was until later when I researched it and discovered PSA grades it. The graded card I have is the highest graded. This set is very nice and includes so many of the Oriole greats (Brooksie, Belanger, Weaver, Frank, Palmer, Cuellar, and McNally). Surprisingly, no Boog. On the back you will find the player number and name with the name of the set at the bottom (Pictures of Champions). This set is on Ebay for $2,999 (I found mine for $40).
