Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Mark70Z]

Day 115 (April 24, 2020 – 115)

We were just talking about 3-D cards so why not post the '75 Kellogg's Brooksie example.

The Kellogg’s cards in 1975 went a bit smaller than in the past. For ’75 they were 2 1/8”x 3 1/4” in size. I’m a fan of the 3-D cards; I’m not a fan of them cracking…

I have pictured a 1975 Brooks Robinson #18 that is blank backed. I’ll also picture the normal back to one '75 Brooks 3-D cards as well.

I like the 3D cards too.Not sure why Brooks wasn’t included in the 71 set. I also a like the 73 Kellogg’s even though they weren’t 3D. For the longest time as a kid my 1973 Kellogg’s Lou Brock was one of my favorite cards. How cool was it to pull a card out of a box of cereal? (Frosted Flakes) ...no wonder I have so many cavities in my mouth!
The card was always at the very bottom of the box too!

Mark,

I really like your Kelloggs cards. I've always been a Kelloggs fan for a few reasons. If you want to put together Orioles team sets, the Kelloggs sets are fairly easy. If you like a challenge, putting together Kelloggs team sets with all the variations can take years.. I'm still looking for the 1979 Mike Flanagan 1st printing with 57 SO on the back.
