Salutation exhibit Pafko variation question
 
I'm working slowly on this set and I know there are many subtle variations in it. One is Andy Pafko who is listed as having a version with a "C" on his cap and one that is blank.

My issue Is that, while I've seen thousands of Pafkos, I've never seen one with the blank cap. I haven't caught one on ebay at any price. Does it exist and can anyone post a scan of it so I know exactly what I'm looking for?

definitely exists; I have one. Says printed in USA at the bottom. I may have a scan I can add later.

If it says "Printed in USA" than it must have been printed in the 1950's, correct? he played for the Cubs until 1951. Was he one of those Salutations that continued on into the next grouping?

I think that is a fair bet; though I've not seen an uncut sheet with Pafko no C here is a checklist for the 1951 print run [you can tell it is 1951 because the two teams are the Yankees and Phillies, the 1950 series foes] with Pafko listed:

Here is a scan of the two Pafko cards:
