1959 Fleer Teddy samples? Help i.d. these?

[RedlegsFan]

Found these in a collection with some sharp 59 fleers, and some other 50s topps-Bowmans in good shape.

Ted #33 should be 73 i think, and the #58 has a promo on the back. Neither has the red ink. Appear to have factory cut, but torn apart as if they were on a panel.

Anyone know of any others in existence? Or what these cards are? Potential value? Thank you in advance!

Has to be a salesman sample panel that was crudely separated by a kid sixty years ago.

“Crudely” is being generous...was that chewed apart?!

Thanks. I’ve never seen non topps salesman samples. Also thought it was weird the card #73 has s #33 in this sample... yes, i believe chewed off!!!

Anyone ever seen these before? How many should there have been printed? This was found in Ohio by the way. Thanks,

Well that solves a bit of that mystery for me.

Years ago I helped at a Halls show at the table near the entrance where they sold their stuff but also the photos etc for the autographs. Under strict instruction that all walkins were to be sent to the dealers. (A pretty nice thing for a promoter to do actually)
One of the people came in with some Ted Wiliams cards, mixed in were a few with plain blue backs. I've never seen any others until now.

Anyone have an idea what these are worth?

See Anthony's post 5 in this thread. He is the go to guy on Salesman samples. You might pm him about 59 Fleer

I have the three parts to the 1959 Fleer Salesman sample to show what the panel looked like. Unfortunately, mine are cut, but to this point I haven't found one that is uncut. I am not computer savvy, so my pictures are small and not very clear. I couldn't get a higher resolution scan to be accepted. I would send out a better picture in an email if anyone would want one

Tough item in any condition, congrats Rick

That is awesome, please send me as high quality scan as you have.

I thought this Salesman Sample was so cool I wanted to make a custom one for my personal collection. Made a nice one on my computer with the front being 3 Ted Signs cards.

Then I went to print it out and my old printer that I haven't used for many months just laughed at me. I had a unopened black cartridge and got the printer to at least print in black. So for now I have this low quality B/W version.

Very cool guys!!!! Thank you! I actually posted my examples for sale here.
