I bought this from a dealer at a card show 15-20 years ago ..., I asked him what it was and he had no clue. I was clueless about it too, but I got it anyway as Frank was one of my favorites and the guy let me have it for some absurdly low amount like $1.50 or fifty cents, can't remember. It measures 2.375 inches by 3.125 inches. The back is blank white. I don't think it was cut from packaging, but I couldn't say for sure. It must have been printed no earlier than 1972 as it mentions him with the LA Dodgers. Oh, and that write-up has the wrong years regarding the two seasons he was voted MVP and misspells 'teammates'.

I couldn't locate it, either. If it is legit, and not saying it isn't, the verbiage also reads as if it was during his playing days, "has his team mates respect ..."

Looks like he is in the Angels uni on the card.

Tough to tell...I let the orange stirrup be my guide but now looking again his back stirrup is maybe red?

Like Ryan, I looked at the orange stirrup. But there are a few more details.
1) The Angels uniforms around that time didn't have that thick of an outline around the uniform numbers. The Orioles did.
2) The Angels uniforms around that time had a thick blue/red/blue stripe pattern around the waist. Pretty sure that's a belt on Robinson, which the Orioles did wear.
3) Angels uniforms from this time period had a very arched "angels" on the chest, while the Orioles had a script "Orioles" at an angle across the chest. The image here seems to be a script, angled text.
I'd say that's an Orioles uniform.

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.

Sorry, but I think that's supposed to be a Dodgers card.
Edit: I was going to amend this, but after further review, I still think Dodgers.

Looks like an Oakland A's catcher when they wore vests which would have been late '60s early '70s. I say Robinson is in Orioles uniform.

D'oh. I guess a 1973 card wouldn't have an image from 1973 with the California Angels on it now, would it? My bad.
I still say Orioles though; even more so now.
