Picked these up on Saturday at the show in Philly. I have never seen them before. Any info on the set? They measure 8x10 with a blank back.

Mark those schedules are great. Brooks was so good he fielded with his eyes closed.😂

Scott,

I could be wrong, but I think they were part of a promotion for Crown Petroleum in the early 1970's. I have both of the photos back in Maine, so I can't verify this, but I thought my photos had a note at the bottom that said "Compliments of Crown Petroleum". I know I've only seen photos of Brooks Robinson and Paul Blair. Yours don't have any note of a sponsor, so they might not be from Crown.

I'm sure someone can verify for us. They are nice photos.
