Exhibit Card Dad's Cookies
 

I picked up this exhibit card of Del Crandall, with the Dad's Cookie information on the back. Does anyone have any more information on the premium or the set? I haven't seen others of these around. I do remember Dad's Cookies from my youth, although much after the baseball premiums unfortunately.

Parallel to the 1959 Exhibits
 

We listed these a few editions back in the Standard Catalog. It appears to be an after-market overprinting on the 64 cards in the 1959 Exhibit Supply Co. issue. It looks a 3-4X premium was factored into the pricing.

If anyone is looking to sell theirs for book, please PM.

lol Put me behind Adam I would be happy to pay much more than SMR for a couple

staple holes like in yours is common for the issue (attached to package with staple).


Actually I have never seen one without the holes, anyone???


related note:

PS I just got this one on eBay

Its a Black Cow Sucker back, anyone (beside Leon :) ) have one?

1959 Dads cookies cards
 

Hey....I'm new to the site and this is an old thread but maybe you can help. I may be selling a set of 1959 Dads Cookies cards (64 in all) but I need a little more info about them. I've heard they are very tough to find any let alone a set. Were all cards stapled to the bag as these have been? An auction house is bugging me to sell through them but I'm notsure.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.....Dean

Much as I'd like to buy them your best bet for maxing out your result is a good auction house, because they are rare and should result in a good deal of competition among exhibit collectors.

Dad's are tough. I've only seen a few, and they've all had staple holes. My example is below. This isn't your typical set. If you do sell through an auction house, go with a large one, like Robert Edwards: http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/

I don`t have any Dad`s wouldnt mind getting a couple for my collection. I have a dozen or so with this back. Bobby Thomson with the wet sheet transfer is my favorite of the bunch I have.

Nice Post Gazette back!

I also have a couple of Triple Nickel Books backed exhibits. They are pretty rough, but I haven't seen any others.

Great stuff! The secondary usage wasn't limited to Exhibit cards. Some of the Nu-Cards got used as well. Here are some 1959 western cards with Long Island Lighting ad backs:

Nice cards Leon, awesome triple nickel back as well. I need to look through my Post Gazette backs I can`t remember if I have any of those players. It would be nice to know the year they were printed, and if there was a complete list of the Post Gazzette backs. Anyone have a guess as to how many possible cards could have a Post Gazzete back 16,32,64?

Different Pittsburgh Post Gazette back
 

Hi Guys:

Did everyone see the George Mikan Exhibit card with the different Post Gazette back that was on ebay recently? First I have seen with a different writer on the back. Maybe they had a different writer for each sport!

Hi All:

Just picked up the below and will be posting them in B/S/T forum hoping to trade them. Take a look and LMK if interested.

Clemente represented??
 

Are there any of these back variations with a Clemente front that anyone knows of or owns (or is willing to sell or trade?)

Always looking for a Joe DiMaggio for sale or trade!!!!!

Hi Howard and Sean et. al.:

Neither Clemente or Joe D. is included in the Dad's Cookies set.

To all those that have PM'd me about these cards I will be replying to everyone soon.

Fred
