Interestingly enough, in addition to these baseball stamp quiz albums, Esso also published the Negro Motorist Green Book.

Esso, back in the early 70's, was popular for hockey stamps and books but I am unsure if they did anything for baseball?
I know I was right into them and I know I drove my father nuts constantly asking him if he needed gas?
Those books likely got tossed but thankfully I still have this one from Loblaws groceries when I was 10.
