Default The Color of Exhibits Guide

Hi All,

I put this little guide together of one of my favorite cards- exhibits. I love all the color variations and wanted to help identify the variations. I hope this will help my fellow master set or master player color collectors. Enjoy-

Scott,

A wonderful idea and well-presented. If I may say, a valuable contribution to this intriguing niche of our hobby. Thank you, sincerely.

A pioneer friend of mine, and a recognized Exhibits expert, Elwood Scharf, would have loved this.

Hi Scott, great color guide for those of us who collect these different color variations. For the 1925-31, I think you might be missing a color (light blue maybe?) based upon Brad's Lefty Grove collection: Link. Not sure if you will include the 1929 Star Picture Exhibits or the 1931-32 Ruth Portrait Exhibits. Both of these sets have Prize Back and Exhibits back. I've also included the color variations that I know of for the 1920s Boxers/Baseball Players Exhibits.

For the 1926-31 4-on-1 Exhibits, here are two of the three color variations that I know of. If someone wants to sell me the missing sepia color tint for the Gehrig card, please PM me!

Very cool. I just have types from each year, but haven't explored color variations yet. This will be a great help when I go down that path.

That's really great work, Scott! Thanks for sharing the info and examples. I've often wondered about the color variations. I actually collect the boxer Exhibits more so than baseball.

Default Klein Exhibits - Tints

Great thread.

Here's my run of Chuck Klein's. The only color I know I'm missing is a green/blue tint. I haven't seen any other color tints other than those I own + the green/blue variation. I have always assumed there is a yellow out there, but I don't recall seeing one. Please let me know if you have or have seen any color I don't already have below. I'd be scared to learn that I also need an Orange, a Pink, and the three "Dual Color" variations that Scott listed.

I have my Klein run listed as: (1) Black & White, (2) Blue, (3) Green, (4) Sepia, (5) Light Green, (6) Purple, (7) Red, and (8) Brown. I think my scanner was "funky" with the red one as it is a little more red than shown.



It's pretty clear that my two green ones are very different shades of green. Also, there is a pretty clear distinction between the brown and sepia versions. I'm not sure if this throws a wrench in Scott's original post at all.

Here's the Green/Blue tint that I don't own:



Would love to see any other color variations of Mr. Klein.

Thanks for posting Scott. This stuff should be in a book filed under education in the library!

Thanks Scott. There should be more info disseminated and consequently popularity in these cards, as they have the best visual image quality of the twenties and thirties!

Best wishes,

Larry

Thanks glad you all liked it.

One thing to note and especially with the 1925-31's PC backed is that the colors do fade (I imagine from exposure to sun/light) so you can find many different shades of the colors, seems to be more pronounced on a few of them blue, red.

I do think there are some undiscovered colors (maybe the print machine had another color loaded, paint got blended together, etc). Here is one I am not sure of, looks more aquamarine (not really green or blue) to me but could also be some kind of fade-

The aquamarine looks identical to the Klein I don't own. And to me, there are definitely two different greens: I'll call the first Incredible Hulk Green and the second Light Green. There is no way that comes from fading. See my post above. And the aquamarine seems too similar to my example to not be a distinct color. Now whether all poses/players have these colors is a completely different question, and not one I think we'll get an answer to in our lifetime. For now, I believe we have a pretty good read on two players (Klein and Grove).

I think Old Cardboard has a run of Hartnett PC back colors.

Default What about 1939-1946 Exhibits?

Scott,
I know you and I have emailed in the past about the 1939-1946 Exhibits, mainly pertaining to Ted Williams. I know of various shades of sepia vs brown and then black & white on these (mainly experience with Ted Williams), but have you seen any other colors done for the 1939-1946 Exhibit cards?

Dave

I am not an expert, nor do I follow them religiously, but don't remember seeing different colors..other than what you mentioned.
