In 1967 Coca-Cola ran an
All-Star
Baseball Bottle Cap promotion. Sets of
35 bottles caps could be redeemed for
prizes. When you mounted all the caps
or liners to the
saver sheet, you could
swap them in for prizes at a redemption
center. Trade in five completed sheets
and you could receive an official
Little League baseball; four completed
collections a baseball cap with a team
emblem, and for one completed
collection, six autographed pictures of
players, supplied by Dexter Press.
The 5x7 Dexter Press Inc., color
pictures have a facsimile autograph
above the player. The back has a player
profile. A set of twelve was made for
eighteen of the twenty team that
participated in the promotion. Only one
player was made
for the California Angels(Paul Schall)
and no St. Louis Cardinals. Team Issue
sets not part of the Coca-Cola
promotion measure 4"x5-7/8" The New
York Yankees issued a 12 player set,
and the California Angels a 17 players.
There was also a 12 player Coca-Cola issue for the All-Stars that can be
differentiated from the team sets
by the lengthier player-bio on the
back. Players in the All-Star set
include; Jim Bunning, Roberto Clemente,
Willie Davis, Al Kaline, Harmon
Killebrew, Willie Mays, Joe Pepitone,
Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Ron
Santo, Joe Torre, and Carl Yastrzemski.
