Exhibit Cards

The Galasso set while it looks identical, is a different set all together. Galasso issued a 32 card HOF set as an incentive to buyers. The set was issued in sepia, blue and green tints. The set is check listed in the Beckett Almanac.

The Frisch scan is a 1974 Exhibit, the Mize scan is a 1976 Galasso. Also notice the difference in the typeface. There are also many players in the Galasso set that are not in the Exhibit set. I had never noticed the difference in the green tint until your post. Nice find.

The 3 sets get all mixed up on Ebay and by grading companies. The only way to know the correct issue is to identify card stock on back and typeface on front.

Randy:

I have the original 48 set in both B&W and Green tint.

I need some cards in the 1974 set in various tints as well as the 76 Galasso set. See wantlist below.

The "new" set I referenced without the PRTD. U.S.A. at the bottom of the columns seems to be a poor copy job on a little thicker stock, It is a reprint of the Galasso set of 32 from 1977. So far I have only seen this in green tint. Wonder if there are others out there?
