Killebrew Things

Speaking of Baltimore, here's a Baltimore Sun newspaper insert "poster" from 1972 of the Killer:

Some oddball slabbed cards from my collection, most of which are "condition rarities", at least according to PSA (the next highest Killebrew Key Chain and Tatoo cards on the pop report are "2s", the next highest Scratch-Off is an "8", and the '63 Bazooka is the only "10").

The Trade Bloc card comes from a game called "Focus the Twins" that was sold at the old Met in 1965; the Key Chain card was sold with key chains and/or a "lucky rabbit's foot" at dime stores like Woolworth's in 1961.

Nice, Ive got the Bazooka over cut the scratch off and a pop up that are very nice. I cant find my nice rookie card but I have the one he autographed for me. I just gave a Amaco can to a friend that loves the twins. I hope it wasnt worth $1000.00 lol

I've seen most of these issues before, but just not in the condition you have posted. Those are "extremely" nice looking Killebrew items. Thanks for sharing these very cool items.

In the past I have seen a picture of a Brooks Key Chain, but don't have one. I'd really like to pick one up "someday". I really didn't know how they were distributed.

The one card I've never seen before is the Trade Bloc card; such a neat item.
