Looked on the internet and found a discussion about the 1967 Dexter Press cards and why no Cardinals.

Discussion is here: 1967 Dexter Press Premiums - Net54baseball.com Forums

This guy had a plausible reason:
No Cardinals in the '67 Coke Caps either, I believe. Weren't the Dexter Press photos linked to Coke somehow? Maybe an Anheuser Busch distribution war with Coke?


I believe the Dexter Press cards were a part of a Coca-Cola promotion and give away.

At any rate, I have toyed with making my own 1967 Dexter Press Cardinals - Cards That Never Were. I tried to follow the example of close up photos but without signatures. Here are my first 5 home made attempts - only 7 more to make for a total of 12:

Bob Gibson - Roger Maris - Lou Brock - Mike Shannon - Julian Javier
