The second year in which Dexter Press produced a series of cards that were issued as team sets by Coca-Cola, the 1968 issue featured postcard-sized (3 1/2" x 5 1/2") full-color photographs with biographical information printed in blue on the reverse, along with a facsimile signature.  Based in Nyack, NY, less than an hour from LOTG's offices, Dexter Press printed their logo and copyright info on the reverse, despite the Coca-Cola association.  A much smaller set than the 1967 issue, just 77 cards were issued, with many teams represented by just one player.

Presented here is a colorful midgrade set, the cards largely clean.  A midgrade set, the primary condition flaws relate to minor wear and chipping at the corners, reducing many cards to EX or VG/EX, with a few better and a few lesser.  A few have toning or staining on the reverse. Regardless, a very attractive grouping of cards. Grades of the Hall of Famers are as follows: Aaron (EX), Carew (EX), Clemente (VG/EX), Killebrew (EX/MT), Marichal (EX), Mays (EX), Morgan (GOOD), Niekro (EX/MT), Olive (VG/EX), Perry (EX), B. Robinson (VG/EX), F. Robinson (EX/MT), Torre (EX/MT).  77 cards total.
