Bill,

Very nice looking ROY ball. Especially like the Blefary on the SS which makes it even better IMV.

I came across these again over the weekend and forgot how many of these Upper Deck sheets featured Brooks Robinson.

For a few years, Upper Deck printed Limited Edition sheets (although most of them aren't very limited) for various events. Many of the sheets are very colorful and well done. Most of them are individually numbered.

The first sheet that I'm aware of was printed in 1989 for the National Candy Wholesalers Assn convention to promote their new cards. It featured Cal Ripken.

Over the next couple of years, Brooks Robinson appeared on a bunch of different sheets.

Sheets from 1991

Here is another one of those Upper Deck sheets which featured Brooks from 1994, signed by all the players:

Bill,

Nice. I have a few other sheets that feature Orioles, just not Brooks, but I've never noticed that one before. It looks real good with all the old-timers autographs (that you can read). Today's players scribbles would ruin it in my opinion.

Wow; thanks for the reminder. Forgot about those. I’m sure I have them tucked away somewhere. I don’t think any of mine are signed.

Mark,

Just in case you were interested, the 1963 program comes with three different cover variations. Brooks pictured in gray, orange and darker orange. I don't believe any variation is harder than the another.

Ha! Of course I'm interested. I didn't realize there were different versions; thanks for the heads up.
