How to authenticate exhibits?
2 Attachment(s)
I picked up some exhibit cards today. Not sure of the printing method. So can someone tell me if the sample below is real or not. Thanks for the help.
Appears to have modern printing. My guess is no. |
Do you have a scan of the back you can post?

How to authenticate exhibits?

Here's the back:

I get confused as well. There different color backs used (milky brown/white) , i tend to stay away from the grey.
There was a old thread on this subject from a guy that does Exhibits. Here is an example of the 62 red back, there also is the reg black stat as well. Here are some pic from a site: https://www.gfg.com/cardimg/626/126367.jpg https://www.gfg.com/cardimg/626/95139.jpg CORRECTION/UPDATED: Here is an example of your 63 red back http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps0d992fb6.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...psc68835d9.jpg |
Its a '63 stat back.I'm not sure if there are stat back reprints.I would say its good.Maybe someone can confirm that with more knowledge on them.

Thanks for the help!

I'm far from an expert but I wouldn't be concerned about it not being authentic. Nothing screams fake for me and I'd think the stat backs would be a bit harder to pull off and not really worth the money effort.
|
It's good. Enjoy.
|
Look good to me. Besides, there's no profit in these for counterfeiters and there's so many of them readily available that no one reprints them.
|
Thanks for the help. Got many stars. Over 40 exhibits card. :)

Exhibit Reprint
Quote:
Just by way of reference - as a refresher for all - one of the tell tale symbols of the Exhibit reprints referenced above is the "grayish" colored backing on the cardboard. Original Exhibits have a white or cream colored cardboard back - reprints have a grayish back. And then if you look at the actual image on the front, it appears a little blurry with some cropping differences. Z |

I have and have seen lots of reprint sets. I never saw a stat back reprint set. So I think you are good to go. Congrats!

I stand corrected. I've just never seen them (reprints).
