At this point, I think it’s safe to say that exhibits have gained acceptance in the mainstream as being baseball cards, a little larger than most but the values would not be where they are today if people didn’t consider them legitimate baseball cards.

I don't consider exhibits to be baseball cards. I also don't consider Die Hard to be a Christmas movie, so what do I know?

I would concur that the Robinson was more than likely printed in 1948. The example that I have in my collection was purchased from a machine in 1949 by my father. So, I can safely say that mine was at minimum printed no later than 1949 just because I know exactly when he purchased it. I do not consider this to be a RC per say, as those should be limited to the 1946 Parade Sportive, 1947 Bond Bread issue's & the 1947 Team issued card. It is however a very early in his career MLB uniform issued card.

Why wouldn't they be baseball cards?
Other than the ones with postcard backs, they are.... Cards That have baseball players on them Issued in sets each year, even if there's a lot of similarity from one year to the next for many of them. Sort of like T206, and the Old Judges... The size shouldn't be the problem, they're smaller than Turkey Reds. And there are several other about postcard sized sets out there that are considered sets that are on thinner cardstock and also weren't issued in packs. The not issued in packs shouldn't be a problem either, as most strip cards weren't and are considered to be baseball cards. (and pretty much all Topps sets from at least 57 until whenever they stopped doing vending boxes were sold both in packs and through vending machines) |

Actually, in the 1960s, as the arcades closed, ESCO tried to sell its cards in packs.
I thought this might be interesting to add to the discussion to show how flexible the company's printing was: As you can see, this sheet has Salutations of Pafko, Feller and Elliott (allegedly printed only through 1946), a 1949 Rizzuto (with the An Exhibit Card marking at the lower left), a Robinson, and some basic mid-1950s cards. The Newcombe card, for example is likely from the 1950 or later print run. Newcombe made his big-league debut on May 20, 1949. Unlikely that an early season call-up would be in the 1949 set, and there is no "An Exhibit Card" marking on Newk's card, which would be on a new 1949 card. The Ashburn also is not the AEC marked version. Ashburn's first game was April 20, 1948. He does have an AEC version from 1949, which I think can rightly be called a rookie card: They also misspelled his name "Ritchie". There is also a clear 1950 card based on the size of the MADE IN USA marking: Still with his name messed up. This is the one that shows on the uncut sheet. Here is Richie Ashburn with the misspelling corrected: I think the sheet is likely a 1950, so the Robinson would have 3 years printing at that point. The rookie stuff may be difficult to solve, but the ESCO card is a career-contemporary card with a nice image. Dennis, if you want to see some Robinson eye candy, there is a thread on the postwar board that is all Jackie, all the time, and the collectors here have posted some rare and really interesting cards there.

Adam: I am away from home currently so I can not check my "records" but I believe the sheet you noted as most likely from 1950 is actually from 1951.My reasoning is Jim Konstanty was basically a "nobody" until the 1950 season when he won the MVP award. There would have been no reason to include him in a set until late that year or the 1951 set. I also think, again without checking my records/checklists that his card was first issued in the 1951 set.

I mean, even if you take out all of the Christmas songs throughout the movie, this seems like it should be enough to count.

It is definitely a Christmas movie, L.A. version. We don't dream of a white Christmas, just one without a drive-by.

Glad to have provided you with some joy!

If John McClane was going out to LA to visit Holly for New Years Eve or Easter, the movie would still be about terrorists. There’s a big difference between a movie with Christmas as the focus and a movie that happens to take place at Christmas time. |
