Hi Scott:

You mentioning the Di Maggio got me to thinking. I have a few other "sets" of reprints, and just checked them out. I found the common Ted Williams SY Salutation in a couple of them. I had forgotten all about it being included. So, I HAD seen a repro of a Salutation before.

Of course this card was issued well into late 50's early 60's. The Lee card in question, not being a super star nor reissued years down the line like the Williams raised the red flag for me. I thought it strange that his card would merit being reproduced. Williams and Di Maggio I can see, but Lee??

Still a head scratcher.

How are the sizes on the reprints ? I recently picked up a copy of the Ted Williams in a 6 card lot . All 6 seem to be a little smaller than some of the other exhibits I own . Is this common to have a slight variation in size? The others are not star players so I wouldn't think they are trimmed . Also all 6 have the cream colored back. Thanks for any help on these questions, Brett

Post front and back scans Brett and we will let you know. Most exhibits are pretty close to the same size. There are a ton that are trimmed, I have a stack of 50 or so I have purchased on accident over the years, many very well done im sure to try and get them graded. Anytime buying raw exhibits look hard to see if they could be reprints or trimmed.

I have a Mantle that I bought about 30 years ago at a flea market. Always thought it was real because deep down I wanted it to be. But after comparing it to a few others I bought years later, I completely believe it is a reprint........but I am no expert so there is always that chance....... I will try to add a scan later tonight.
