What do I like about these card? For starters I did not buy this set until 2006 for the first time. Even though the only difference between this set and the regular 1981 Topps set is the Coke logo on front and the card numbers I just never got it. I finally picked up an unopened cello team pack for under three dollars in June of 06. I am glad I did.Second this set is a parallel of the set that got me started on collecting. Not the best overall design but still good.
Third. It's the Reds. Nuff said.

OMG! I've had the 1983 set for years! I always thought it was weird that Coke sponsored the set or whatever. Didn't really understand it.
Griffey Sr.'s card in your set it pretty bad ass.
Griffey does look like he means business on that card. I like the Mario Soto the best. The Bench card looks weird without the All-Star banner on top to me.
I too like (and possess) the Griffey. Also the Tom Seaver and the Nolan Ryan Coke versions. They're sweet side by side with their like counterparts!
So don't feel guilty about perusing our favorite games for this holiday season, whether you own a Sony Playstation 3, Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii
I used this blog to research these Coke cards on my blog...ultimateset.blogspot.com
Thanks for the scans to answer some questions.
