Recent 39-46 Ted Williams Exhibit variation pickup

[mainemule]

I took a gander on this Ted Exhibit card- far right.

I've had one collector friend suggest he didn't like the centering.

I read an old thread here about possible Ted color variations

https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=186172

so thought this was worth a chance.

Any Exhibit experts who can chime in on this blueish tint card?

Note bottom two are Canadian variations.

Thanks, Scott

Does anyone have an example of a similar colored exhibit?

Your blue tint Williams is from a 14 card reprint set. One of MANY reprint Exhibit sets that have been issued over the years. It appears this card has been artificially aged.

I saw this on ebay recently and notified the seller, but he was not inclined to change the listing

My photos are not showing the true blue tint, but rest assured they are.

Super interesting Fred.

I am familiar with the 1980 reprint of Ted (blue) with #9 showing but could find no other examples of "no # 9" with "Printed in USA" in bottom right corner. I cannot quite read yours but I think it indicates Printed in USA, right? Some of yours read "Made in USA."

Do you think this is also a 1980sish period reprint?

yes to Printed

yes/maybe to 80's could be 70's

No question it is a reprint. Sorry to say for your sake.
