I just bought this 4 card lot for $15 and I think that at least one of them is an Exhibit from 1939 Ted Williams. I think I got a good deal even if the condition isn't the best.
am I right about the Ted card? and what years are the other 3 cards from? ![]()

there are two main types of exhibits that would have a Ted Williams. They are very easy to tell apart and the name of the set in the hobby explains it succinctly. From 1939 to 1946 they were "Exhibits Salutations" simply meaning there was some kind of message in addition to the "signature" From 1946 -1961 they had not message and were just "Exhibits."
So of the ones you have pictured above the Williams is definitely from 1939 - 1946. There are two variations on this card, one where his back is to the camera called "number showing" and the one you have above "number not showing." Yours is by far the more common version. Generally speaking the cards are worth only a tiny fraction of what a regular issue card from that era would be worth, but at $15 for the lot you did fine.

No, the "salutations" were only produced up to 1946. There are Williams cards from the second "regular" set produced until 1961.

A number of salutations were included in with the 1947-66 Exhibits and that Williams was one of them. The other #9 showing Williams was a Salutation 1939-46 only.
You got a nice deal on them. Here is a Feller that was issued after 1946- ![]() Last edited by smtjoy; 07-08-2016 at 08:08 AM. |

Thanx for the replies guys!
Is there any way to determine the year? Is it worth having these things graded ? I was just happy to nab cards of players I might otherwise not be able to afford, so am not planning on flipping em for a profit or anything.
