PSA Mistake- Graded Exhibit reprints on ebay

[whiteymet]

Hi Gang:

Just stumbled across this old thread. Don't know how I missed it.

I would like to add a few things. First, as Dave mentioned you can add the Elston Howard to the gray back checklist.

I do not have Howard in the white back nor the Berra in the gray back. I wonder if they were switched? Can anyone confirm a white back Howard and/or a gray back Berra?

There is also ANOTHER white back set. Checklist is below:

Aaron
Adcock dark signature
Ashburn Cubs
Banks Portrait
Bauer NY on cap
Burdette pitching side view
Colavito batting
Drysdale glove at waist
Ennis
Fox
Jensen
Mathews name correct
McDougald Printed in U.S.A.
Sievers Senators lt. Bkgrd
Spahn M on cap
Torgeson plain uniform
Vernon batting
Woodling white signature
Zernial black signature

19 is a strange number for a set so there may be more out there. Or maybe I have one card from the other white back set mixed in.

These are all over ebay so you may want to check your cards of the above to be sure you do not have white backs.

Example:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1947-66-Exh...p2047675.l2557

And PSA is STILL MisIDing these. Another member here bought a Team Card off ebay that was graded by PSA recently and when he got it, it was white back. Perhaps he will share info in a follow up post.

Hi Fred
Unfortunately I don't know the answer to your question but thanks for updating the lists.

Thanks, Scott, for posting this thread.
I was relieved not to see DiMaggio's name on the two reprint lists.
May I take it then that these are real?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-DIMAGGIO-...p2047675.l2557


I post them to illustrate another point: that the back distinctions do not always seem to be clear-cut.
The backs of both DiMaggios do not look particularly cream-colored; one looks closer to gray than cream, and the other looks close to white.
The Mantle back looks closest to cream, but the front doesn't look as well-defined as the DiMaggios.

Another question for the experts. Should all the '70s and '80s reprints fluoresce under a black light? Some I have obviously do (like the '77 Duke Snider, as one example) but other '70s years don't seem to. Unless the ones I have that I am almost certain to be '70s reprints are actually real. Note these are all 'white' backs (not the gray ones).

Anyone with any experience with this?

If Scott says thet are reprints, then they are reprints. PSA be damned.
