Musing about my five collecting interests: All things Orioles and BALTIMORE Colts, 50's Baseball, team publications, Japanese cards and even some football and hockey.
You might find some beautiful women, soccer stuff, presidential pins and life advice from time to time. I don't charge extra for any of those.

Frank Robinson
Today would have been his 85th birthday. I've posted more Frank Robinson items than I can count. Here are some of my favorites.
That 2019 Topps card is pretty cool. As for Frank Robinson favorites, I'd go with vintage oddballs like his 1967 and 1970 Topps Posters/Pinups and the 1964 Topps Giants card.
My first F. Robby card was 1967. That year, he also appeared as a floating head on the 1st series checklist, because his base card was #100. He was on card #1 as well, in a "World Champs" photo with Brooks and manager Hank Bauer.
What an amazing collection! You've built up a nice Robinson stash over the years. Really love that 2019 variation, and of course the '59 Topps, always thought that was a striking card.
One of the all timers, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove the vintage ones and he had a nice autograph.
