1981 Coca-Cola
Contents
Description
1981 Coca-Cola is a series of eleven, 12-card, regionally-distributed team sets produced by Topps. Each team is represented by eleven players with a twelfth unnumbered card advertising a mail-in offer good for an uncut sheet of the entire 132-card set.
A card of Carlton Fisk as a Boston Red Sox was produced but pulled from production as he had signed with the White Sox. A number of cards from the New York Yankees were also produced, but also pulled as they had dropped Coca-Cola as a sponsor. Both Yankees and Fisk cards do exist, but are extremely rare.
The design is identical to that of the 1981 Topps set, but with a Coca-Cola logo in the corner.
Distribution
Regionally, in Coca-Cola products.
