I just purchased a full set for my husband's birthday, and I was wondering if you've ever seen how people display these. I'd be grateful for any suggestions!

My grandfather, Joe Capicotto, had a small photography and advertising business in Miami, Fl from after WWII through the mid 70's and did alot of work for Dexter Press, mainly post cards. However, he was hired by Dexter to take player photos of 4 of the teams for the Coke promotion in 1967. He received $75.00 per team as pay plus a complete set of all the teams associated with the promotion, including the single Paul Schall card. I have those cards now as he passed away in 1996 to include all the correspondence from Dexter Press, Coca Cola, and each team he was assigned to photograph. He was always proud of the work he did and told me that the cards were in conjunction with a Coca Cola contest, but never expounded on it; so I was excited to see this write up. It really does my soul good to know that my grandfather had a part in this great piece of Americana! I would like to forward a scanned copy of the Dexter Press letter to my grandfather to Fleerfan as a thank you for helping me complete the story of my grandfather's cards! Fleerfan, please email me at Jeffrey.S.Williams@comcast.net if you would like to add my grandfather's Dexter Press letter to your collection. Thank you again for your research!<br /><br />Jeff WilliamsJeff Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455498748416586967.post-69702759342424998352010-03-01T14:16:20.557-08:002010-03-01T14:16:20.557-08:00Love the detailed write-up and scans for the Coke ...Love the detailed write-up and scans for the Coke tie-ins. I recently ordered a few caps and it helps a lot (as a collector) to see how they promoted things locally with the store posters and team photos.<br /><br />I bet most fans would be surprised how critical this kind of product licensing proved to the growth of American sports' strongest union.

What about all the different soda brand variations and cap variations - Kosher, WV state map, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
