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. 
Pictured is an unopened pack containing one coin.
1972 Manama Postage Stamps
 These beautiful official government issued postage stamps from Manama were made of a plastic like material and used an advanced printing technique to show multiple images as the card was moved. This technique was used much later in 1986 on a new baseball card issue called "Sportflics". Each postage stamp pictured 2 different players as the stamp was tilted. There were (8) different stamps issued, (8) with American player-combos and (4) with Japanese player-combos. Also issued about the same time was a special larger stamp featuring BABE RUTH with the Yankees "MURDERS ROW" and appears to be significantly scarcer than the others. 1972 Manama Baseball Postage Stamps Checklist & Prices (You may be on that page now) |
There are many different ways to protect, organize and store your sports cards.
Soft Sleeves also called "penny sleeves" are the most basic protection for your cards. Made of thin plastic, they come in packs of 100 and are very inexpensive.
Top Loads are rigid plastic holders and a step up in protection over "soft sleeves". Called top-loads because you place the card thru a thin opening at the top. They come in many sizes for regular cards upto 8-1/2 x 11 for magazines and even larger.
Screw-Down Acrylic Holders
These are sometimes used for better, more expensive cards. Small screws hold
two pieces of clear acrylic together. In a variety of sizes and thickness
that not only protect the card but can funciton as a paper weight or display
item.
There are also Single-Screw Screw-Downs that use only 1 screw to seal the holder. They are easier to use and provide the same type of protectionas regular screwdowns and they are also much less expensive costing as little as .30 in quantity while 1 inch or 2 inch acrylic screw-downs can cost upto several dollars.
