Thank you Al, I figured you would have this panel. It looks like someone pasted the Runnels over Hal Smith....not sure why though

Did Hal have an ex wife ?

1957 Ad Strip
 

Seeing the ad strip, lets me know now that the error card I bought was from a strip. I will attach it and, the surprising OV showing Joe DeMaestri. I also am pasting in a card I stupidly had cut out of an ad strip given to me by a rep in 1957 showing Frank Robinson and the back of it. Who knows who were the other two as they were not Reds, and thus not interesting to me as a 10-year old.

It could have been his arch nemesis, the "other" Hal Smith of the Cardinals.

Thomas, is the DeMaestri on the front side of the Sturdivant back card? If so, I wonder how many different combinations of these sales man strips are out there?

If they printed the backs onto regular sheet fronts, probably 36, depending on the exact layout and if they used a full 264 card sheet or a 132 card half sheet.
If they used a different size sheet it could be just about any number.

That could then possibly explain the 3 versions of the Hal Smith 1960 Leaf card, including the black out version...retailiation

1957 Ad Panel
 

YES, DeMasetri is on the front and that is why I pasted it into the little collection. Why Robinson has an ad back instead of some other back, like the one we both have, is beyond me. This is great to learn though as I was always wondering why the card back had the wrong number, different cartoon, etc. Now it makes sense. I also passed on buying other versions of these cards due to price so there are many more most likely.
