The reason I ask this is because I collect Cleveland Indian cards and I have all thirteen of the Indian coins issued by Salada. I also have two of the green plastic shields that were available to mount your coins in. My thought was what coins would I need to acquire to properly fill my shields based on the initial production run and the follow-up production run.

For the Indians, it was rather easy. However, when I plotted the other 19 teams, some were a bit more complex to work out and depended on whether a particular coin was an "A" or a "B".

Shield #1 uses the original 10 Indian coins:

Shield #1

94 John Romano (C)
44 Vic Power (1B)
52A Johnny Temple (2B)
5 Woody Held (SS)
74 Bubba Phillips (3B)
15 Tito Francona (LF)
88A Jimmy Piersall (CF)
61 Willie Kirkland (RF)
26 Jim Grant (SP)
32 Jim Perry (RP)

After the later printing, the Indians were given 3 additional coins. 7B Ken Aspromonte 2B who the Indians acquired from the Angels early in 1962. 52A Johnny Temple 2B left the Indians after the 1961 season and never played for the Indians in 1962. 208 Walt Bond OF was a little used outfielder. 88A Jim Piersall OF left Cleveland after the 1961 season. And 213 Gary Bell P. So here's how Shield #2 would look:

Shield #2

94 John Romano (C)
44 Vic Power (1B)
7B Ken Aspromonte (2B)
5 Woody Held (SS)
74 Bubba Phillips (3B)
15 Tito Francona (LF)
208 Walt Bond (CF)
61 Willie Kirkland (RF)
26 Jim Grant (SP)
213 Gary Bell (RP)

This can be done for all of the teams, using all of the coins issued but only if some of the "A"s and "B"s are swapped.
