Hi Randy!

I goggled this a bit last night and found Busch was selling soda products in the 60's. They seem to have had a line of non-cola's like grape and ginger ale. There also seem to have been some shenanigans with exclusivity of bottling plants at the time. Could all be a coinkidink too.

Anyway, it's always a bummer when old sets have say 13 out of 16 or 19 out of 20 teams; seems to have happened quite a bit back in the good old days.

Didn't really expect to find anything so quick, but here is the Fresca King back you are missing. Be well. Howard

Would love to see some scans of the saver sheets - would also love to purchase a pirates saver sheet.
