Play Ball uncut sheets
 

Has anyone seen uncut sheets of any of the 1939, 1940 or 1941 Play Ball Issues?

I'm wondering how many cards were on a sheet. Seems like there were 72 on a sheet since that's the total number of the 1941 set, but that doesn't hold up numbers-wise for the other years.

Were there such things as double prints back then?

A quick search of the REA Auctions past auction archive shows they’ve sold more than a dozen 41 Play Ball sheets. I didn’t see any past sales of 1939 or 40; but I also did a 2 minute search and didn’t dig that deep. I do believe I’ve seen 1939 PB sheets before, but may be mistaken.

Paper sheets
 

There was a paper version of the 1941 sheets…. One was #1-12 and the other was #13-24. Printed front and back they were identical to the regular issue cards. I used to own the one w the Ted Williams .

Don’t forget about this massive find from 2022….

Those are awesome. Somehow I totally missed hearing about this find.

The Find Rocky mentions are the same group that REA sold over a few auctions.

I didn't remember that one. Very cool.
