Random Exhibit questions

[Archive]

Posted By: Paul

I've got a few random questions about exhibit cards that I hope some of you can answer.

1. Occassionally, dealers refer to their Exhibit cards by set number, rather than year. For example, I think I've seen cards sold as being part of "Set No. 82." I believe Lew Lipset usually advertises his Exhibits this way. Is there any reference book that catalogs Exhibits by set numer? Do any of you have a checklist of exhibits by set number? Are any of these sets not listed in the Standard Catalog?

2. Are the 1921-24 Exhibits one set, two sets, three sets, or four? If more than one, how do you tell the difference among them? It seems clear that the Al Simmons was issued only in 1924, since he didn't play in the majors before then. But how do you tell for the rest of them?

3. Is there any way to tell the specific year of issue for a 1947-66 Exhibit?

Thanks in advance for your help.
