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 Bob |

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: http://www.billjamie.com/Instant_Win...nner-Coin.html And an Instant $1 winner: http://www.owegopennysaver.com/PS/20...s-and-website/ 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. https://vintagecardprices.com/card/b...r-Maris/418228 Edit: images don't seem to be displaying this morning for some reason, so I've put them in the attachments. |
