W462 (1939-46) Exhibit Salutations w/ Post-Gazette backs

[Zan]

Nice win. Was looking at that lot for the Greenberg.

As far as the years, its really should be just one set from 1939-1966. They are splint into two sets but many Salutations were issued along with the others after 1946. They were still printing the Salutations Ted Williams well into the 60's.

Nice pick up Leon. I have one with that back...front is Bobby Thomson.

I also have a George Kell with a Cow Sucker offer stamp on the back.

I've brought that up w/them in the past but they won't change it.

Still learning on these....
On the Salutation design......
Williams "no9" (1960), Feller "pitching" (1952), DiMaggio (1952), Holmes (1949), Marion (1949), and a few others were printed after 1946, some well into the 50's like what was mentioned, Williams is seen on the uncut 1960 sheet so was at least printed that year if not a couple times earlier in 1950's as well

exhibits are interesting trying to figure all this out. the Post Gazette cards are interesting, these 4 you got Leon were the first time I noticed they had the 2 types. Not an expert at all on them.


quick examples...
DiMaggio was printed in 1952 for sure, dont know about any other years. All the 1952s are B&W thats how to date them, the others can be dated by the size of the MADE IN USA, Made in USA, PRINTED IN USA, Printed in USA, or by "An Exhibit Card" in corner (1949)

example of the 1952 DiMaggio (B&W)

There's plenty of hard evidence to prove this...why the resistance? Is it sacrilege to rewrite history?

My computer locked up as I was trying to bid, which saved Leon same coin.

I have exhibits w/ Dad's Cookies backs and Triple Nickel Books backs. I've seen another, can't remember what it was. Anyone have any to post, or know of any others???
