NOTES:
 
    The 1952 Coca-Cola Baseball Tips carton inserts was a regional issue to the New York area. This 10 card set features artwork of 9 New York ballplayers, one for each position, and one hitter card. The set is represented by three New York Yankee, three New York Giant, and three Brooklyn Dodger players. The front headers display the artwork depicting the players, with the slogan "Coke is a Natural," the players name, team, and position. The lower insert portion features the 1952 home schedule for the player's team.

 The backs have "How To Be A Good" tips for the position of the player depicted on the front, followed by "A Few Big-League Tips to Remember." The 10th card is is a double of the Bobby Thomson 3rd base insert but with "How To Be A Good Hitter." The irregularly shaped carton insert baseball cards measure about 3.5" at the widest point, and 7.5" in length.

 A four card test issue previous to this set consist of 3 Phil Rizzuto cards with three different back variations; How to Play Shortstop, How to make a Squeeze Play, and Coca-Cola Baseball Tips... Pitching. These cards differ in design, depicting Rizzuto drinking a Coke, and do not have a team schedule. The fourth card, Willie Mays, is done in the same design as the Coca-Cola Baseball Tips insert cards, but with a biography on the back.
