I wasn’t much of a Nabisco Team Flakes cereal fan (the four-grain energy cereal), but I didn’t know at the time that the cereal boxes had cards (mini-posters) on the back of the box to cut out. The 1969 Team Flakes consisted of 24 cards in three series of eight cards. As you can see, they didn’t pay any MLB royalties, so no insignias are shown on the cards. The photos on the Nabisco cards are the same that were used on the 1968 Sports Illustrated Posters.

Mark,
That's a very nice looking Nabisco card. I wasn't a big Team Flakes fan either.
Frank Robinson is the other Oriole in the set. Frank comes in two variations, narrow yellow border and wide yellow border. I've been looking for years, but think the Brooks Robinson card was only printed with a narrow border.
