Traded to Baltimore after the '65 season, Frank responded in '66 by hitting .316, 49 home runs, and knocking 122 runs to win the Triple Crown. He hit 30 homers in 11 seasons with 586 career dingers.

| Comments: In January,
2000 I picked up a PSA 8 1958 Topps card as my first portrait for
Robinson. In July, 2005 I replaced the card with this PSA 9 '69
Super card purchased at the National in Chicago. |

| Year(s): |
1969 |
| ACC Set Designation: |
|
| Set Name: |
Topps Super |
| Country: |
United States |
| Description: |
These 2-1/4" X 3-1/4" cards are not the bigger "Super" cards which would be seen in following years. Their high-gloss finish enabled Topps to dub them as such. The 66-card set saw limited production, meaning supplies are tight. |
