Greatest Regional Sets .....

[Exhibitman]

1968 Atlantic Oil. A fun set to chase. It was a contest where collecting the right grouping of cards resulted in cash prizes on redemption.

There are 40 common cards. The common cards are a challenge in nice condition. They came in perforated two-card packets that were glued shut on the edges and the glue usually infiltrated onto the card fronts. Finding them without glue damage is tough.



And then there are the extremely short-printed chase cards that complete the money runs. I assume that nearly all SPs were redeemed and destroyed. I have been chasing this set for decades and have only seen two SPs ever, Williams and Osteen.



Another newspaper set here, 1960 Los Angeles Examiner Dodgers Album:



ca. 1947 Elgee Products. Used the images from 1947 Bond Bread but two sided with movie or other sports cards. PSA mislabels them as Bond Bread products:



They also mislabel these as Bond Bread:



1952 Fleet Wing Indians. Another regional gas issue, this one with an album that doesn't quite fit the premiums:




The cards have images that are not used on team issue picture pack sets or similar common all star picture pack sets, so they are a challenge for specialists in specific players. I bought the whole set to get the Al Rosen.
