1967 Topps Poster Inserts - Brooks Robinson

Here's another 60's insert set containing 32 players with each poster measuring 5"x7". Much like the 68' Topps Game Cards this set has a number of big name stars, Mantle, Clemente, Aaron, both Robinson's. Then, in my opinion a few questionable players like Bobby Knoop, Johnny Callison and few others. It's not these guys didn't have somewhat productive careers but you'd think with such a limited number of cards you would add a few more big timers of which there was no shortage in 67'.

The Topps regular issued Brooks card form 67' was for a time considered to be quite scarce thus commanding an even greater value than most Mantle cards of the 60s. With the advent of eBay and the realization that plenty of these cards were available, the value has dipped. It can still be a difficult card in higher grade due to its high-number series #600.
