They were probably referring to football. They don't (at least the last I heard) grade the 1948-52 football exhibits.

Sorry Dan the reference is wrong, the card is from 1955 with the printed post card back (Fred can chime in as hes the expert on the 1955 issue that hes working on a master set). And yes PSA grades most of the baseball exhibits but none of the football and not sure if any boxing.

Just the 1955's or the reference as a whole?

Here is an promo advertising card for the 1950 Exhibit printing (Only year that a Phillies team card was included).

You can see that in 1950- Joe Dimaggio, Williams, Feller, Elliott and Holmes were still being printed and they all only have Salutations-

I've been trying to get them to grade boxing exhibits for a while. I cannot figure out why they would cede the entire field to SGC and BVG.

Hi Dan:

Sorry to be so late to the party! Scott Mt. Joy is correct that the Feller Salutation card with PC back he posted is from 1955 even though it has MADE IN U.S.A. designation in the bottom right corner.

ESCO issued this "bastardized" set in 1955 with the Postcard backs using many different previously issued cards from different "sets".

Beside the Feller the ever present Pafko Salutation is included in the set as well.

There are cards from the "type script" set that has PRINTED IN U.S.A., others with Made in U.S.A, MADE IN U.S.A., and "AN EXHIBIT CARD" set.

Though confusing, this is how the set was issued.

If anyone has any of the postcard backs in the Exhibit baseball or football sets please PM me. I am doing research and would like to ask some questions.

I have some dupes available for trade for others I am looking for or will buy those I need.

Best,

Fred
