Gentlemen:

I believe the confusion on the number in the set comes from Franks's initial checklist which he has since updated. The 35 number is as someone else stated "foreign" to Exhibit Cards. I have all of Elwood Scharf's checklists from back in the day. As mentioned in the SCD article he is the GODFATHER of Exhibits. I knew him well and he was a great guy!!

I do not believe there is a Waitkus MARKED "An Exhibit Card". It is NOT on any of Scharf's lists. Can anyone verify the existance of this card??? If not, and you drop this card from the checklist you have 32 cards issued in the 1949 and again in 1950 with only the team cards changing. Thus 32 cards plus two different team cards for a total of 34.

Someone else also mentioned that they all come in sepia and B&W. I am attempting to complete the set both ways. Please check out my wants below and PLEASE LMK if you can help. I am also looking for 1955 Exhibits with the Post Card backs. My wantlist is below as well. I have extras to trade in this set including the MANTLE with the postcard back or will buy. Hope some of you out there can help and we can get a deal going.
Regards, Fred
