I don't think we'll ever get a definite answer to this other that they are not Exhibit products. There were so many types of issues made with the same artwork; the source was obviously non-exclusive.

I have a couple dozen boxers in 8 x 10 glossies with the same font and sharing images with some sets. Here is the Cerdan that is in the Hom. Bond set [the 'deceased' notation is handwritten]:

Here's Stan Musial's 'exhibit' sized card:

Bob Feller from a multisport picture pack [printed, around 7 x 9]:

And the Feller bread card [yes, I know it is signed but go try finding something Feller didn't sign]:

Marciano, from a smaller picture pack or similar issue:

Some sort of small, glossy stamp of George Kell:

The perforated two-sider that the shoe co might have given out:

I think the originating studio might have been National in NY; it was a huge commercial outfit in the sports world and issued the publicity photos for fighters that I have seen signed:

The images in the Hom. Bond set might even have been pirated. Here is the Primo Carnera Hom. Bond card:

The picture pack version:

That thing that looks like a hash tag is actually the signature of Charles Heath, a photographer here in L.A. who was well known for handling boxing and wrestling stuff. Carnera was a pro wrestler in the late 1940s-1950s out of a city in L.A. [Glendale].

Many thanks, Adam and Eric, for your time and input. I've always liked Exhibit/postcard sized cards, and may well go beyond the Musial that just came today (great looking PSA 4.5 VG-EX+) with these!

Best to all,

Larry
