Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

Day 24 – 24 January 2024
Brooks again appeared on the 1964 Bazooka Box. Like the 1963 box, this box is impossible to find. I found this one with the 1964 sticker inserts affixed to the back of the box and had to carefully remove them before PSA would grade the box. Bazooka made 12 x 3 player boxes in 1964. Below is the Complete Box with Ellsworth and Herbert, Panel and hand cut card. Additionally, unique to 1964, Bazooka not only included gum but they included 10 stamps. These stamps came in 10 player panels. Brooks appears on the #3 panel with Yaz and Clemente. Today, I am showing the 10 player panel, single stamp and two player panel with Pepitone. Finding the single stamp is easy and affordable. The 10 player panel is very hard to find and expensive.

Day 25 – 25 January 2024
Brooks appeared on a box again in 1965. I am not in possession of a 1965 box. I have never seen a complete 1965 box but always looking. If you have one collecting dust, keep me in mind. I do have a panel with Santo and Howard. The cards are easier to find than the panels. 1965 included 12 different 3 player panels.

Day 26 – 26 January 2024
In 1966, Brooks appears on a box with Wynn and Torre. Below is just the box. I will cover the panel and hand cut card tomorrow because PSA grades the panel and card as 1966/67 because you cannot differentiate the cards and panels when cut from the box. The 1966 and 1967 boxes display the same players but on the back of the 1966 box, Koufax appears in a small picture. 1966 included 16 different 3 player boxes.

Not sure if this is from '66, '67 or both...

Great pics, Mark. Love the 1964 Stamp with Pepitone. Is that a proof?

Day 27 - 27 – 27 January 2024
In 1967, Brooks appears with the same players as 1966, but on the back of the box, there is a smaller picture of Mantle. Appearing with Brooks is Torre and Wynn. The single card and panel are provided below. I am also showing a ungraded box. PSA incorrectly graded one of the panels as 1967. 1967 included 16 different 3 player boxes.

Yes; it’s a progressive color proof.

Day 28 – 28 January 2024
In 1968, Bazooka changed things up and created a 5 player box featuring one player on the box providing “Tipps from the Topps.” There are 15 different boxes in 1968. Below, I show the complete box (Brooks appears on the back), a complete panel, the Tipps from the Topps portion with Brooks and a hand cut card of Brooks. I also provide a booklet that Bazooka provided with a picture inside of all the players appearing the 15 Tipps section of the boxes. Thes are very difficult to find in any of the above variations and pricey.

I don't have anything related to the '65 Bazooka box, panel or individual cutout. I really like to pick up a panel one day. This is the only thing I have related...

Thought i'd post something unique concerning this grouping; Brooks w/Pepitone.
