Is this Mantle card a reprint?
I came across this Mantle Exhitbits card and am not super familiar with the Exhibit issues. When I compared it to some of my other 1947-66 Exhibits cards, the back appears "un-aged" and the card is slightly longer t/b. It does not appear to be a 1980s example as it does not have the disclosure printed on the front as the other 1980s do.
Here are some images...the second image shows the back of the Mantle (in the middle) compared to two other 1947-66 Exhibits I have. The back is much "newer" looking. Please let me know what you think?

I have never seen an exhibit on gray stock, so I doubt it's legit.

I also have some but the backs are almost pure white.
From what I understand, they were originally printed on gray stock. I purchased these years ago thinking they were real but thankfully I only paid a few dollars for them.
