A year of Lou Brock

[David W]

From 1969 to the mid 70's Lou Brock was featured on a lot of cards each year.

Here is the 1969 Milton Bradley board game card. (Clearly I am in need of an upgrade on this one, I am not sure what the grease smudge is on it). I remember playing this game (or maybe the 1970 or 72 version of it) at a friends house.

Just a side note...some pretty cool Brock transparencies in the thetoppsvault auctions on the bay. Oh and thanks for sharing; very nice items.

Thanks. I have a few Topps Vault items. They have some cool and one of a kind items.

This will be the last post until Monday, as I am going to Mackinaw Island this weekend to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary and will be concentrating more on that than cards.....

In 1969 Nabisco put cards on boxes of Nabisco product. Also using the same picture was Globe publishing, which printed these black and white "cards" which are really just thick paper and anyone with a photo copier I suppose could make them. I assume mine is real. Either way they have little value.

Also in 1969 Sports Illustrated made posters using the same images as the Nabisco cards. The poster is on ebay all the time, I don't have one, I just don't have anywhere to put it up.

In 1969 the fledgling MLBPA was promoting the players in many ways. They produced these MLBPA "Photo Stamps". They apparently came in several ways. Here is a booklet to glue them into, along with the stamps. They also came in a large sheet format. The fronts are the same, the backs are different. Tomorrow I will put up the large sheet front and back.

The Eastern Division Stamp book and accompanying stamps are a lot tougher than the NL and AL total book and stamps

I did not know that..... But I've never looked for the other stamps either.
