NON-SPORTS PROMO CARDS IN A SEALED PLASTIC PACKET

THIS LISTING IS FOR THE  PROMO CARD/S PICTURED. THE PACKET YOU GET WILL BE SEALED. 

YOU ARE BUYING ONE PACKET. IT IS PICTURED FRONT & BACK. 

This promo pack was from a cross-promotion with Coca-Cola. The Header Card has the Coca-Cola logo as says "Coca-Cola is proud to be the founding and continuing sponsor of the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. This Set honors African-American Olympic Champions."

The contents of the pack is unknown. The only other card you can see is the JESSE OWENS card. I do not know if these are sample base cards or marked as Prototypes. I'd say there are about 10 cards to the set. Only 5 cards have been documented as being made as "Prototypes," so these may very-well be just sample (identical) base cards.

A Little Something about Promo Cards:

 

Promotional trading cards (sometimes called PROTO or PROTOTYPE or PROMO cards) are usually given away by the manufacturer of the cards to dealers & magazine publishers to help promote their upcoming card release. Most are standard sized cards (2.5" X 3.5"). They are typically made available to the public before the release date of the cards. Most often Promo Cards are exact samples of what the front of the cards will look like once officially released & usually they are specially numbered (P1, P2, #0, P, etc.) to tell them apart from a regular card. Usually the text on the back of a Promo card talks about the upcoming set. Sometimes it looks just like the back of standard card.

 

Some promo cards are released in limited quantities & some are down-right rare. Some Promo Cards were made for planned sets that were then later canceled. These factors have helped launch an entirely new genre of collectors in the trading card market.
