Comprehensive Exhibit Supply Co (ESCO) Information

SMR is wrong about a lot of stuff.

Rizzo was definitely the toughest card in the set. I got plain lucky on that one--a non-collector posted a group of saluations on ebay and I made an offer for an immediate purchase that the seller took.

Hugh Mulcahy was a toughie too. He was actually the last card in the set for me.

Hartnett was pretty tough too.

Lombardi's waist-up portrait is tough.

And let's not forget Gehrig, which is both tough and desirable.

I am missing only Gehrig. How tough is he in EX or better? I have looked for several years and found none. I just finished a master 1947 set with color variations that I know about. Is there any experts on the 1947s who would have a master list with all color variations?

Great set Gary, those are awesome!!

On the Salutations I am down to Hartnett, Klein and Lombardi, and throw the smr out on this set not even close for the sp's. Just had to trade heavy in their favor to land a low grade Gehrig, have never seen an ex+ one for sale. My 47-66 set is just the basic version but I know two collectors who have bought color 47-66 variations from me and are looking for them so I would guess they are a few working on a master set. Have not heard of a checklist of them yet.

The recently ended Old Judge auction had a large lot of Salutations for sale, including an EX Gehrig, however w/ writing on the back (not sure if in pencil) here: Link.

Both of those exhibit lots were good buys. I didnt see them due to late additions. I think the 39-46 was a steal at under $4k. Any guesses on what a solid EX-EXMT 1947-66 complete set would fetch? My guess on the 39-46 would be $8K.

Bought it ungraded for $500 about ten years ago.
