[sschauer]

I've been trying to find the different backs of the coke caps and have come up with 26 different. Anyone have any different ones to add?

AWESOME COLLECTION! I don't know how detailed you want to get, but I have seen a number of different bottling plants on the regular coke caps! I own a King size Sprite - Unfortunately I have no clue where it is - I'll try to find this post again when I find it as I see you need a scan. I am not positive, but I believe I may have a king size tab. Are you just collecting "type" caps or collecting players/teams? I am always looking for Clemente caps. Thanks. You just introduced me to the existence of a number of different variations! Is ther some checklist as to what players/ teams were produced under which brands/cap variations? Thanks.

No checklist I assume all national all-star caps should come in all varieties but the local team caps should be limited to regional variations only but I have no way of knowing which variation goes with area. Talking with coke collectors there were 100s of distributors in the late 60s so not easy matching up but that is the long term goal.

Also 67 / 68 question for team caps, the 67s have the positions the 68s do not the all star are unchanged, if they all come in the same variations or if yearly variations exist. Always looking for any info.

Impressive batch of cap backs! I've been collecting the caps off and on for years, and I don't have any non- coke ones. The Khosher for Passover one should be the toughest, and may be NY area only. RC cola did a similar thing on their cans one year, but only from the New Rochelle NY plant, and only in the few weeks around Passover.

There may also be caps with a built in pull tab that makes a removed one look a bit like a baseball cap. I've only seen them with football players, so they may have given up on them by 67.

I'm not real sure about variations, besides the 67/68 differences. The different bottling plants used different liners, which can make sorting a big batch of one team a little easier.

The 68 set is the only one with the text plays, One of them may be very tough. I think there was some sort of prize for completing the set that was a bit more value than the set of dexter press pics they gave out in 67.

I loved collecting these bottle caps as a kid.
Here's a store display sign.

Do you have dupes of any of these for sale or trade?

This guy lives 1/2 hour from me in Indiana and was at the national with a bunch of caps. I spent half an hour looking for Cardinals (LOL).

I just compared my backs closer to the ones pictured and found a couple more that I overlooked.

A couple from a recent pickup from Atlanta, GA bottling plant. I thought that was odd for U since that was for upstate NY???
Sprite, Sprite U’s, Fresca U’s (didn’t know those existed for Mick), Tab, and Tab U’s.

I am still looking for 1967 Reds F8 Maloney and F13 Rose, all Astros, 1967 Yankees U12 Murcer, 1967 Pirates E18 Clemente and 1967 Giants G3 Davenport G11 McCovey G15 Perry G17 Mays to complete my 1967 base sets. I need most 1968s. I have a few to swap, but also Coke Football and Hockey caps available to swap and need.
