1969 CITGO Coins
In 1969, to commemorate Baseball's 100th Anniversary, CITGO released their
"Famous Baseball Player Coin Collection" of 20 brass coated metal coins.
On the front, the coins featured the player's name and a raised image of
his head. The back displayed a banner honoring baseball's s 100th Anniversary.
The coins are approx. 1" in diameter and are very susceptible to
tarnishing due to oxidation.
Customers received a single coin in it's sealed pack free with a fill-up and
could pay 25 cents for additional coins.
The 20 coin set could be inserted into a cardboard backing for display.
On the back of the display was a short bio with stats of each player.

cardboard backing and some more sample coins:

1948-1949 Leaf Baseball Cards Checklist & Values
... Babe Ruth ... Joe DiMaggio ... Honus Wagner ... Jackie Robinson ...
... Ted Williams ... Stan Musial ... Satchel Paige ... Warren Spahn ...
Man was the 1948-1949 Leaf baseball set PACKED !!!
The set was small in numbers and size with only (98) 2-3/8" by 2-7/8"
cards. With only 98 cards, the set was "skip-numbered" with card numbers
from 1 thru 168. Likely an attempt to force collectors to keep buying packs
looking for their missing cards. (49) cards are considered "Short Prints"
and there is one variation card #136: Full Sleeve/Short Sleeve (error)

Baseball card collecting terms (part D-F)
Die-Cut A special card that differs from a basic card by
"Die-Cutting", cutting away portions of the card to create a special design.
Most are serially numbered & limited.
Error Card Baseball card history is filled with error cards,
many of them very interesting. Hank Aaron is on 2 of my favorite error cards.
Aaron's 1956 Topps card action photo shows Aaron sliding home but
it is actually Willie Mays not Aaron. Topps again goofed on Aaron's 1957
"reversed negative" card showing Aaron batting left-handed.
"Error Cards" are usually found early in print runs and often corrected.
When this correction happens a VARIATION is created.
Some variations are extremely interesting and very expensive while others
are totally boring and you wonder why they were even made.
Extended Set Also frequently called Update Set or
Traded Set.
They are sets issued after the original release to update the regular set
with new and traded players.
Facsimile Autograph is an autograph printed on a card to show
what the player's actual signature looks like. They are not "real" autographs.
Factory Set are complete sets usually in special boxes
produced by the manufacturer. "Hand-Collated Sets" are sets collectors
have put together card by card from packs.
