I like the 1967 large Dexter Press Coca-Cola premiums. The cards measure 5 ½”x7” and are definitely glossy. Brooks has an All Star version as well with extended biographies on the back, but these pictured are just the regular issued cards. I never really understood why these premiums are not more popular (possibly the size?).

I also really enjoy this set. I did a blog post about how these cards were tied into the Coke baseball bottle caps promotion (with a couple of pictures of Brooks Robinson caps):

The photographer's grandson reached out to me after seeing the post and shared some great documentation regarding the photo shoots for this set, including the lists of players to be photographed. You can see the full story here:

AWESOME read! Thanks for sharing this information related to the Dexter Press cards and how they tied in with the Coke bottle cap promotion.

So cool that so much detailed information was saved to be shared with us collectors. Makes collecting much more enjoyable to get the back story on these items and in this instance mainly from the photographer and the individuals dealing with the promotions prospective.

Keep up the GREAT work!
