1981 topps coke set question

[erdoro]

I went to Becketts they had the following included in the set list with no information on what they were. Does anyone have any ideas? my guess is they were autos inserted.
#BRS1 Carlton Fisk
#NYY1 Rick Cerone
#NYY2 Rich Gossage
#NYY3 Reggie Jackson

I did a wikipedia search and found they were team sets, 132 cards total No autos were listed.

Almost positive that set did not have any autos in it.

thanks I was just interested, beckett might have gotten mixed up.
Cards of the following New York Yankees have been discovered: Rick Cerone, Rich Gossage and Reggie Jackson. In addition, a Boston Red Sox of Carlton Fisk has also recently been discovered. Since these cards are so infrequently found, we have not yet placed a value on them.
looks like coke might have tried to put boston and yankees cards out but a few got out.

I've seen a well known seller selling copies on ebay. There may even be some listed now. I was thinking this guy probably got his hands on a lot of them and he lets them out slowly over time.

I am speculating that there were Yankee and Red Sox promo packs put out. The Yankees were not one of the teams issued during the season so did not appear in the regular release.
It appears there were three cards in the Red Sox promo, Fisk, Lynn, and Rice. Fisk left the Red Sox after the 1980 Season as did Fred Lynn. Rice was in the regular release, but neither Fisk or Lynn was.
I borrowed the following picture from the web, I don't have a picture of the backs, but my guess is that they are numbered 1,2, & 3.

Hope this helps,
Scott
