On March 14, 1966, Frank Robinson signed a contract extension with Topps Chewing Gum, extending his previous contract for two years (or two full baseball seasons).
It was offered in Mastro’s August 2001 Premier Catalog Auction.
In 1966, Robinson won the Triple Crown and captured his second American League MVP award! An awesome link between the hobby’s foundational company and one of baseball’s greatest seasons.
Happy collecting!
P.S. Here’s an example of Robinson’s highest graded (Pop 33, no 10s) 1966 Topps baseball card (via Memory Lane Inc.) and its priciest sales (via Card Ladder)
