I do not have the 1949 list but here is the 1951 list (based on WS teams), just wish i would have won the card-

Adam, Scott et. al:

I THINK I may have the final list of the B&W 49 AN EXHIBIT CARD set. I have been looking for these for years and now have 16 different in B&W.

Since I have not seen ANY of the other cards in the set in B&W I am assuming the Exhibit Co. only issued 16 of them, which is a multiple of the normal 32 or 64 card sets they were issuing about that time.

The 16 I have in B&W are Appling, Ashburn, Bearden, Berra, Branca, Brecheen, Brissie, Dillinger, Doby, Doerr, Holmes, Mitchell, Newhouser, Rizzuto, Sain and Thomson.

If anyone can verify by posting scans of any of the following in B&W PLEASE DO. Otherwise I feel the above list may be it.

NOT seen in B&W only sepia:

Dark, Fowler, Gustine, Keller, Keltner, Lemon, Marion, Marshall, Paige, Stanky, Stirnweiss, Tebbetts, Vernon, Walters, Team Cards of 1948 Braves or 1948 Indians, 1949 Dodgers or Yankees.

Here is a scan of another Checklist. Don't know for what year specifically, possibly 1950. The two team cards, Yankees and Dodgers played in the World Series in 1949 and 1952. Appling retired after the 1950 season and Di Maggio after the 1951 season. Any input from other collectors is requested.

What's on the back?

Adam:

I assume you are asking what is on the back of the Checklist I posted. If you are referring to the one Scott posted my bad!

Mine is blank.

Hey Fred, comparing names of the 1951 that I listed vs yours and looking at stats I'm pretty positive yours in a 1950. Coleman was a rookie in 1949 and got votes for ROY and Marion did not play in 1951 and only a little in 1952. Cool seeing the list and who was added and dropped each year, would love to see another year if they made one.

Hey Scott:

That's what I assumed too. With Appling retiring, I figured as much.

I agree it would be good to see more printed checklists like these.

Blank backs...interesting. I ask because I've seen checklist cards like that used as advertising mailers from ESCO touting the latest sets.
