Brooks Robinson proofs/test/FINAL negatives/etc

[Mark70Z]

Toppcat... Very nice! Thanks for the link to the Fleer Sticker blog... I haven't taken a look at this area lately; appreciate the update! Gotta love the Brooks Robinson Sporting Goods tags!

jmoran19...That's what I'm talking about...pictures! Does anyone know who owns the '68 3D? A friend of mine, I met through the hobby, used to own this test card; I believe that was late 70's, but ultimately sold it. I saw in one of the big auction houses many years ago and like I said earlier went for something like 12K back then... Wonder what it would go for today?!?

I personally tried at this '61 Dice Game, but had to drop out, I just couldn't afford to go any higher than I did. I guess I'll never own one personally, but it is sure nice to see (especially so LARGE!). Thanks jmoran19!!!

The 68 Robinson was pwned by a dealer named Brian ?????? - I believe out of NJ. He dealt in all kinds of crazy oddball and proof stuff. I remember seeing it at his table. Don't know what ultimately happened with it. Have you checked with Larry or Bob to see if they have it?

hcv123... I'm new to this site; I'm unfamiliar who Larry and/or Bob are? I'm assuming big test collectors?

i dont know who has that one
it last traded a long time ago
probably is a 1 and only though so wont sell again til the collection is sold

I have to say, I have heard there is another copy of the B Robby 3D prototype from a couple of different sources. Knowing Topps, I would find it odd there only being one. 2-4 extant is a reasonable guess for any truly unissued Topps test or proof card from the 60's. The file copy/brass saved items seem to exist in greater numbers than one in almost every instance.

I believe was the dealers name out of NJ (He used to set up at the Willow Grove show among others) - Don't know how much work you want to do on this, but try to look him up and see if he can put you on the trail. As for Larry and Bob, yes both big test collectors. Larry checked in above and obviously doesn't own it. Bob checks the board pretty regularly. Be well.

...is off playing bridge. His 3D collection is on the Registry...bobsbbcards.

Al - where are the registries located so I can view his?

Mark---someone more capable than I will likely be able to give you a direct link. But if you do a search for "PSA Authenticators" you will get the PSA web site. At the top you will find a link to Registry Sets. Once there go to baseball and the sets are listed by year and manufacturer. Many of the sets, have pictures. They also have another sports card bulletin board there with links at the bottom of the home page
