In 1968 Atlantic Oil put out some "Cards" which were given out when you purchased gas at an Atlantic Oil (Originally part of Standard Oil, then became ARCO - Atlantic Richfield, then purchased by Sunoco). Some could be redeemed for money, making them almost impossible to find. There are also some variations I think in regards to the printing of the number on the front (Black ink vs. Gray Ink). I haven't chased them that hard..... yet.

There were 2 different backs, a rule back and a batting pose back. Also pictured here is an unissued card which apparently never got glued to the peel off front (Thanks Adam....)

Due to the nature of issuance, I doubt a NM example exists of any of these.

The Cardinals won the WS in 1967, beating the Red Sox in 7 games (much like the Cubs did well over a century ago). As a result they are featured in the 68 Topps set. Brock and Gibson were once again the stars, and in game 1he had 4 hits, thus getting him on the first WS card. Here it is in a blank back "proof" of some sort, Venezuelan, Topps, and OPC.

Hey David where have you been? I hope all is well with you it's been two days without any new Brocks. I look forward to your Brock posts. Here a Malcolm Emmons photo to keep your thread going.

Busy weekend, here are the 68 Topps regular and All Star Cards. I think the 68 AS puzzle on the back is Orlando Cepeda, but he is using Lou Brock's bat.

He does not have OPC or Venezuelan issues of these cards.

Backing up a year to 1967 again, here is a ruler that I overlooked, similar to the 1966 ruler. I have seen an occasional 1966 and 67, but never any other years so perhaps they were only made these 2 years.

Transitioning from 1968 to 1969, here are some buttons. 1967 National League Champs, 1969 MLBPA large pin (identified looking at the back, and along the edge where the pin meets the metal, you can make out 1969 MBLPA), 1969 Kelly's Potato Chips (also says 1969 MLBPA along back edge), and 1969 MLBPA small pin (also identified by looking at the back along the edge of the pin).

After the Cards successes in 1967 and 68 Lou would be on many issues the next few years. However the Cards were about to head into a long dry spell with little success, due in part to some really bad personnel decisions.
