Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

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.

Day 29 – 29 January 2024
In 1971, Brooks appeared on his final playing day Bazooka box. In 1971 Bazooka had the regular box without a number under the player’s picture and a test run of numbered panel. The boxes without numbers included 16 different player boxes as did the numbered test panels. I have a complete set of the unnumbered boxes. All variations are provided below (numbered panel, numbered hand cut card, no number box, no number panel and no number hand cut card). That concludes my update on Bazooka’s.

They never made a test box, correct? I’m sure you could get a better grade on the numbered panel. Does the Brooks Master count both examples?

No test box made… just Mays in the 71 numbered boxes as a part of the full sheet
… and yes that 71 numbered panel needs cracked out and trimmed closer to the dotted lines!

Scott, I should crack the numbered 1971 panel and send back for a higher grade. Maybe I will.
