Great thread. Seeing some cool cardboard that I have never seen before. Here is my contribution to the thread.

I�m pretty sure Newhouser was actually one of the cards carried into the 1947-1966 sets. Some of the 1939-1946�s were included in these and are from years long after 1946. The exhibit dudes will be able to confirm.

Well, I took this picture and uploaded it thinking it would be Ron Santo's rookie year, but he had a rookie card in 1961. Then I thought....Boog Powell. Nope! He had one in 1962. I went through the trouble of taking the picture.....I'm posting it!

I'm sure there is somebody on these 2 cards whose "alternative first card" would be featured in this picture.

FYI - these reside in my Cardinals collection - Julian Javier and Fred Whitfield. Fortunately there were no Cardinals on the Pete Rose counterpart. These are not exactly easy to find - 1964 Topps Rookie Banquet.

Same image but no "salutation" in the later printing?

Some of the cards were continued with the salutations line, as I understand it, like Ted Williams. Isn�t Newhouser in that group? I didn�t think his later exhibit was a 1948 replacement.

I may be misunderstanding you.

Some of the cards with the �salutations� captions were continued after 1946, some of them for a long time after 1946.

I thought Newhouser was in that group of cards. One of the Exhibit experts probably knows better.

His Exhibit card without the caption, the one you�ve shown here. is a different card, which originated later that eventually replaced the captioned version or possibly printed alongside for a time. Don�t know which, probably the former.
