Hi Dan:
Thanks for the reply. The top card of mine is Adcock. The bottom smaller photo is of Wertz from an ebay listing. What do you make of the two different backs? Are they both legit? |

Yes they both look legit from what I can see.I don`t have any with the mutoscope back but they are out there.Perhaps Exhibitman will chime in with more info for you,he is regarded as the Exhibit card expert around here.
Here is one of my backs for you to compare. Last edited by bbcarddan; 05-19-2010 at 11:26 AM. Reason: photo added |

I've seen them both ways. The Mutoscope ones seem to show up less frequently, FWIW. I've also got 3 boxers w/the Made IN USA non-Mutoscope format.

Thanks Exhibitman!
So there are TWO different versions of the 1955 Baseball Postcard backs, one with the Mutoscope line and PRINTED in USA under the postcard banner and the other w/o the line and MADE in USA under the banner. That relieves my worries I picked up some bad cards. I visited the Exhibit Card Co. in Chicago in 1966 when I was 16! Chet ( I believe was his name) was great to me. I still have quite a few uncut sheets in both regular and paper form he gave me that day. One of them even has some cards with an X through them showing they would be dropped. Some of the rare ones from the later issues as I recall. Kranpool, Richardson etc. Anybody have any of the postcard backs for sale or trade? LMK! |

Now there's factory tour I'd love to have taken. Scans, please, of the uncut materials!

Standard Exhibit sheets are 32 cards:
"Sets" are varied as some were less than full sheet, some cards carried over for years after a series was done (note the Salutations Ted Williams and the Rocky Colavito w/Detroit cap on the illustrated sheet--had to be a post-1959 issue), and some had replacement cards issued during the print run.
