Coca-Cola Super Premium Trading Cards

Unfortunately the scans do not do the cards justice. The 'Super Premium Collection' is in gold, and the borders of the cards are in bright silver.

The artwork is of a Gibson Girl from 1910. Note her incredibly thin waist. Women were using corsets to make their waists really tiny. I also don't care for her hair style.

The back of the cards show the year the artwork is from, some general information, and some specific information relating to Coca-Cola. Alas, the choice of colors on the back of the cards were not always the wisest. This one has a light yellow print on a bright red background, making it almost impossible to read. There are also some other combinations that don't work well at all.

The artwork is from 1938, and the card notes that the first newspaper ad for the product appeared during that year.

The artwork is from 1945 and is meant to show that Coca-Cola is drunk world-wide.

Left-side top. The top card is from 1995. The second card is of a 1927 window display. To me it doesn't work. The woman look like they are surrounded by giant leaves, and the whole thing is on fire. The bottom card shows 1944 artwork and the creepy-looking kid.

Right-hand side. The top card is from 1936. The next card has artwork from 1932, and discusses the first unofficial bottling of the drink. The bottom card is from 1946. The cards generally are taken from metal plates, cardboard cutouts and other advertising works, and the card will list what such things are worth to collectors today.

Left side. The card is from 1995. The middle card is from 1943 and is related to the war. The bottom card is from 1962.

Right side. The artwork is from 1943 in the top card. The second one is from 1946. The bottom card is another from 1995 and shows 'The World of Coca-Cola' in Atlanta, Georgia.

Left side. The top card is from 1921, the second from 1931, and the bottom from 1922.

Right side. The top card is from 1941. The second card is from 1922. The woman seems to look sort of confused, though, and I don't think that is the image they were trying to get across. The bottom card is from 1946.

Left side. Another 1995 card from 'The World of Coca-Cola', this somewhat confusing looking thing is a soda dispenser. The bottom card is from 1931.

Right side. The top card shows artwork from 1922, while the bottom card is a checklist of sorts.

Left side. The top card is from 1965 and shows a slightly scary-looking clown. The middle card is from France during the 1950's. The bottom shows a magazine ad from 1906 which, in my opinion, is too 'busy.' There's too many different type sizes and too many words, drawing attention away from the art.

Right side. The top card is artwork from 1950. The middle is a 'Motor Girl' postcard form 1911. The third card is from 1907 and shows another ultra-slim-waisted woman.

Left side. The top card is a wall sign from 1940. The middle card is from 1950, while the bottom card is a 1952 German ad.

Right side. The top card art is from 1912. The middle card, with artwork from 1945, again shows a woman whose cheeks are just too red. The bottom card is from 1915.

Left side. Top card is of artwork from 1928; the second shows art form 1924. The bottom card is from 1950.

Right side. The top artwork is from 1928, and the middle artwork, showing a horse-riding woman, is from 1948. The bottom card is from 1906.

Left side. The top card is from 1938. The middle card shows a metal sign from 1940, while the bottom card is artwork from 1899. It looks ultra-weird to me, with the woman appearing to have a very tiny head on her body, but it basically an optical illusion of sorts since the arms of her dress balloon out to incredible size, making everything else look smaller.

Right side. The top card is from 1930, while the middle is a cardboard cutout from 1923. The bottom card is from a 1943 calendar.

Left side. The top card is from 1928. A cardboard cutout from 1940 is shown on the middle card, and a cardboard cutout from 1907 is on the bottom card.

Right side. The top card shows a 1977 neon side, while a 1930 cardboard cutout is shown on the second card. The bottom is artwork from a 1901 calendar.

Left side. A 1932 cardboard cutout is shown at top, while the bottom card is from 1909. The woman looks to be in some kind of pain from the expression on her face.

Right side. The top card is a 1923 window display, and the bottom is a 1932 cardboard cutout.

This card, showing another of the diseased-look-cheeks women, is from a 1929 calendar.
