1968 Atlantic Oil. There are 40 cards that are regular issue and ten cards that are prize-winners and extremely short-printed. Also a game piece that was redeemable instantly for a booklet of baseball records and stats. it is also a short print but only because so many of them were redeemed and destroyed. The ten cash-money cards (banks, davis, osteen, agee, etchebarren, fairly, freehan, mccraw, williams, wilson) are rarely seen and since some were for more money than others (Osteen was a buck), there are degrees of SP, but all ten are flat-out rare. Condition is also a challenge on these cards because they came two to a packet and were glued around the edges. Finding one without glue damage and/or hairline creases from being twisted to open the packet is also difficult.

Here is a common with typical glue damage:



Here is a common card in high grade:



Here is the SP redemption card:



These are prize-winner SSPs:




This is not a prizewinner but it is an SP. Swoboda was supposed to be part of a $10 match; this variation has him part of a $5 match.
