W462 (1939-46) Exhibit Salutations w/ Post-Gazette backs

[Leon]

W462 (1939-46) Exhibit Salutations w/ Post-Gazette backs- Just picked these up and am curious if there are more of these in board members collections or what other backs might be out there? thanks much (note not 1 but 2 half dollars, though it's the same one )

[dog*dirt]

I was wondering who won that. Great pickup Leon.

[smtjoy]

Nice pickup for sure, I sure missed those or I would have bid. I have a few of each of the backs, Ill try to get a post up on them later tonight.

Also the Evers and Furillo are from the 1947-66 Exhibit set

Ive had only 2 of them over the years, one of the scarcer of the many different printed/stamped back exhibits.

I was the underbidder, wonder if we were the only 2 who put good bids on them??

I knew Id have slim chance because the seller put the back pic as the thumbnail and I saw that at least 40+ saw the auction before I even saw them ;(

Oh well, nice to see you got them, very cool cards

they are really from 1947++ or so, as 2 of yours are not the salutation type and DiMaggio and Greenberg were issued after 1946 (DiMaggio well into the 50's)

Furillo is good for the date, as he started in 1946

My snipe was multiples higher than the winning bid as I needed them for their backs, especially. Also, the 2011 Krause doesn't list the Joe Dimaggio or Hank Greenberg in the 1947-1966 set. That is what I went by, do they have it wrong?

Nice win. Was looking at that lot for the Greenberg.
