Slight O/T, but please if anybody knows - and thanks in advance.

Was just thrilled to be high bid, ebay, a 1940's 20th Century Fox Exhibit card, colorized,
Marilyn Monroe, probably EX-NM range. Been looking for a nice old Marilyn - woo hoo!

I would post scan, but my tech savvy not super swift - maybe see closed ebay search "Marilyn Monroe" for ebay item scan.

But I cannot find any info - PSA pop search turned up empty, Old Cardboard doesn't really say - so big please to you knowledgeable folks here if any info available, ie exact year, scarcity(pop), value, would PSA grade it?

Thanks, Steve

Here's a link to your card: http://tinyurl.com/2l6ehq

I've never seen it before, but then again I don't search for exhibits beyond baseball types. I would bet Adam Warshaw knows exactly what this is.

Steve,

Try asking on the Net54 non-sports board. Someone over there will have the info on it.

Thanks for the ebay scan link - I need to learn how to post a link.

And I did not know of the non-sports vintage postings, thanks.

Amazing how giddy you can get over a not so spendy card.

It is a late 1950s issue. The format was called "Colortone" and was touted in their 1950s catalogs. Your card comes from a set of Hollywood Dancers. It is highly collected by film fans. To see her other famous cheesecake exhibit card as well as a Julie Newmar from the same era, please check out my web site.
