1968 American Oil Baseball "Winner" Pieces
 
Good morning!

American Oil ran a sweepstakes contest in 1968, and if you got a matching left-right pair of any of the subjects, you won a fabulous prize (I have no idea what).

Do any of you have scans of any of these "winner" pieces:

Mickey Mantle Portrait
Willie Mays Action
Babe Ruth Action

I've never seen any of them, and I want to. So there. :p

You won the dollar amount mentioned on the card, so $10 for Mays and Mantle, but only $1 for Babe Ruth. Damascus (race horse) and Parnelli Jones (race car driver) were $1000 prizes.

Interesting site I found it on:

And an Instant $1 winner:

And for some odd reason (likely either their confusion or passed down from a TPG error), VCP has Roger Maris as part of this set. He was in the Atlantic Oil set, not American.

Edit: images don't seem to be displaying this morning for some reason, so I've put them in the attachments.

Yes, very informative sites on gas station games

Here's an image of Mays. This was taken from Instagram and is not mine.
