1921 SGC Exhibit W.Johnson - wrong?

[Touch'EmAll]

Upon closer examination, the back of this Walter Johnson is blank.

The real 1926-29 Exhibits always have "Postcard" pre-printed on the upper back with a pre-printed square to put the stamp.

So... is this intfact a 1926-29 Exhibit? Or a rare variation that had no print on back? Or is it not really a 1926-29 after all?

I doubt it is a 1921 like the SGC label says. And now I doubt it is a 1926-29. The mystery deepens - what is it?

I put in a solid bid last night - lucky enough to get it - but I am unsure of exactly what year/issue it really is.

ps I really tried to paste a link, can't figure it out, sorry

It's 26-29 Exhibits. The first run ("Set 81") was blank backed. Adam or Scott can probably go into it more.

Had it on my watch list as well. Nice pickup!

Here's the link.

Big thanks you guys. Net54 rocks!

So some 1926-29 Postcard back Exhibits were actually blank backed, hmmm - you learn something every day. And I thought I was pretty good with these cards. Any chance of someone looking up the PSA pop numbers on this card? Thanks again.

This one will fit in well with my collection, er, investments, haha.

The stengel exhibit went from $500 to $1100 in the last 5 seconds of the auction also. Congrats on the Johnson pick up

I think PSA POP reports are free to anyone now.

Thanks - did not realize the pop numbers were now for everyone to see - very nice, thanks PSA.

I noticed 2 varieties exist, regular back and blank back. The blank backs seem to be more rare for the 1926-29 Exhibit set.

not more rare... its from the set called "Set 81" ......like mentioned earlier.
they are blank backed

there is also the "Set 82", and "Set 83"

the so called set known as 1925-31 "Postcard Back" Exhibits is really a group of sets some with the PC back some w/o, and with roughly the same design (caption style). there are a few different types of PC backs within this "set" as well



here is good info ....see Adams post (Exhibitman)
