1949 Exhibit Cards

[whiteymet]

Hi All:

I am revisiting this old post to ask if any of you have in your collection any of the following "AN EXHIBIT CARD" in lower left corner that are B&W and NOT sepia. It is my belief that 16 cards in this set were issued in B&W as well as sepia while the other cards in the set were issued only in sepia. If any of you have any of the below in B&W it will blow my theory to pieces. If you do please post scans here. I have all the other 16 in B&W.

I have not seen in B&W: Dark, Fowler, Gustine, Keller, Keltner, Lemon, Marion, Marshall, Paige, Stanky, Stirnweiss, Tebbetts, Vernon, Walters, 1948 Braves Team, 1948 Indians Team, 1949 Dodgers Team, 1949 Yankees team.

If you have any of these PLEASE post them here.

Thanks,

Fred

Here's my 1949 Doerr B/W and Sepia. Not sure if this help you, but it at least confirms the existence of both...........

Hey Tim:

Thanks for posting your Doerr cards. Yep, he is one I have checklisted in both B&W and Sepia. What I am really looking for are any that I listed that anyone would have in B&W. These are the ones I am thinking were NOT issued in B&W only sepia.

Hi Fred,

I just checked thru my 500 of so and I dont have any you are missing with B & W, I did have the Tommy Holmes in both colors.

On a list for 1955, I'm pretty sure you can use the list for the post card back ones as these were only issued in 1955 and as far as I know it was a total of 64 cards. Sorry cant find a list of them, Ill look I probably have it somewhere. (Hey Fred, do you still have an extra Mantle with PC back?)

Hi Scott:

Thanks for checking through all your Exhibits. I think we can safely say that the cards I listed in AN EXHIBIT CARD set were NOT issued in B&W. So it seems only half the set was done in B&W. They were probably issued in 1952 because the team cards showing the 1951 pennant winners seem to be only in B&W.

As for the Mantle Exhibit postcard back, yes I do have two, however I am crazy enought to try to collect the set with both the MUTOSCOPE line and w/o the Mutoscope line backs. And lucklily enough my Mantles are one of each.

I have other postcard backs available for trade for others I need. My wants and duplicate lists are below. Any collectors reading this, please LMK if you have any of the postcard back Exhibits I am looking for. I will trade for or buy any I need
