The lasting memory of Brooks Robinson for many remains his wizardry in the 1970 World Series. But countless others will remember the man behind the statistics, records, and awards. “When fans ask Brooks Robinson for his autograph,” remembered the late Oriole broadcaster Chuck Thompson, “he complied while finding out how many kids you have, what your dad does, where you live, how old you are, and if you have a dog. … His only failing is that when the game ended, if Brooks belonged to its story – usually he did – you better leave the booth at the end of the eighth inning. … By the time the press got to the clubhouse, Brooks was in the parking lot signing autographs on his way home.” Offered here is a stunning example of Brooks 1957 Topps rookie card that has been graded NM/MT 8 by PSA. Four strong upper-end NM/MT or better corners surround the perimeter while the interior of the card offers a well centered image with abundant color. The reverse is equally splendid with absolutely no issues apparent. A terrific example of this immensely popular card.
