Dexter Press Questions

Econteachert205 · #1 02-20-2015, 01:30 PM

Fred, I've just been staring at two 1968 aaron dexter press cards. One was listed as from the all star set on the trading card database, the other a psa 9 aaron example not marked as an all star variation. I can't see any difference whatsoever. Of course it could be a case like the 67s where only some of the all star var. are different ( thanks again for the help on that).

How is the 1967 Paul Schaal different from the 1966? the one you posted looks like a 1966. We have a partial set of 1966's in our current auction. The Schaal looks just like the one you posted above.

Aren't the 66s usually referred to as postcards?

While you're looking, keep an eye out for stuff like this.

The back of the Lonborg postcard (Which isn't a postcard at all is it?) printed on what I think is divider or packing material. Probably used either as a header for a package or separating layers of some number of cards in a stack, 100? 250?

The front is entirely blank except for being slightly darker and shiny.

I love the '67s.
I am slowly working on a signed set, up to close to 120 diff.
The sets really suffers IMO by the lack of the Cardinals who were World Champs that season.

Hi Steve:

I actually do have something just like it from the 67 set. Blank front on funky darker paper. I'll dig it out and post it soon.

Thanks Dennis:

I just never heard of an All Star set for the 68 set before. If you find any with differences PLEASE LMK.

The dark ones were spacers. Years back I won a few factory boxes-- each box contained one player-- and they had the dark brown ones with blank fronts as spacers. I don't remember the count of regular cards per brown card, but 200 or 250 sounds reasonable. They are dark brown with a maroonish tint.

That's great to know. I'd wondered if it was a spacer that was used or an error where the spacer material or a sheet of different stock to protect the normal stock got printed. Now I know what it is for sure.

On the downside I still need to find a card printed on the wrong sort of paper for my type set of printing errors.

Hi Guys:

As promised here is my 1967 Dexter Press spacer of Joe Torre. Just as we talked about it is on dark stock with a blank "front".

Interesting that Steve B. has one from the 68 set. They did them for both years.

I'm up to acquire one from the 68 set if anyone has one available. LMK.

Thanks,

Fred
