Posted By: <b>David Vargha</b><p>I missed that one. That was a steal. The 1939 Play Ball cards for the first series were offered as salesman's samples with the back overprint to potential stores that might stock the product. The cards are much more difficult to find. They carry a slight premium over the regular (non-overprinted) cards.<br><br>DavidVargha@hotmail.com

Posted By: <b>Brian</b><p>Yes, that was quite a steal. I have the same card with "sample" overprint in much nicer condition but I paid much, much more. I have seen quite a few of these backs--I don't think they are too rare.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>You'd be hard pressed to get the Berg card in that shape for the price without the ad. That was a great. I would have been all over it if I had moeny to spend as I have been scooping up 39PBs and still need Berg.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>Growing old is not optional, growing up is.
