started Opening Day 1966; any photos you see of Frank wearing that old logo style was from Spring Training

I apologize if these cards have already been posted, but in my opinion some of the most beautiful sets produced are the Redman Tobacco cards from 1952-1955. I love the style and bright colors that were used. Unfortunately, there were only a couple of Orioles and they aren't my favorite cards from those sets.. One card each in 1954 and 1955.

1954 Sam Mele (Orioles variation). He was also printed as a White Sox
