Autographed Exhibits Include - Ted Williams - Larry Doby - Chico Carrasquel - Walt Alston - Stan Musial - Phil Rizzuto etc

Years ago I obtained 753 of these directly from the vending & distribution company where they sat undisturbed for many years - Each exhibit was issued in 2 colors - Of these, # 1 to 32 there were 195 Purple & 57 Green & # 33 to 64 the quantities were 376 Blue & 125 Brown

These were made available thru a dispensing machine in the early 1950's - The owner of the vending company advised the uneven card production was purposely created so pursuer's would keep inserting coins in their attempt to complete a set - As an example in # 1 to 32 there were only 4 each of Joe DiMaggio, Newhouser & Spahn & 3 of Brecheen & within # 33 to 64 only 6 ea of Sandy Amoros & Ronnie Lee out of 753

In 1991 The Hager Group of Calgary Alberta issued a Canadian Sports Card Guide where I obtained some information regarding "Short Printed" (SP) cards - Past orders, want lists & my original inventory further added to my suspicions - Also, there was mutual belief others may also have been short printed, (SP ? - See List Below) or at the very least are in short supply & rarely seen - My original quantities for these ranged from 5 - 7 per player, much lower than others - Those who have attempted to complete sets are aware of the shortages - Current U.S. & Canadian price guides don't have or include the above information

The exhibits were probably printed for the Quebec Market, since the only International League team in the set are the Montreal Royals, the AAA farm team of the Brooklyn Dodgers - Toronto & Ottawa were also in the League at the same time, but not included - In addition there are 7 Dodgers in # 1 - 32

Numbers 1 - 32 - Purple & Green were printed in significantly lower quantities than # 33 - 56 - Some players in Purple are scarce to very scarce - Green was printed in much lower quantities than Purple & these range from Scarce to Rare & the least seen of the 4 issued colors - It has been this way for many years - Joe DiMaggio & in particular the Green is the Rarest Issue in the Set - Search on ebay & the Web & see for yourself

Numbers 33 - 64 - Blue & Brown - The most predominant of the 4 colors & seen most often is Blue. These were printed in the largest quantities & are for the most part common - The Brown were printed in lower quantities than Blue - A few players in both colors range from hard to very hard to find - In particular the Blue # 43 Sandy Amoros is (SP) & # 51 Ronnie Lee appears to be in shorter supply

All below are Original Issues - No Reprints

# 33 to 56 & # 61 are Montreal Royals players, Dodgers AAA International League farm team although # 44 Bob Milliken is shown in a Dodgers uniform

Grading / Condition - Unlike regular baseball cards with white borders these exhibits were printed "Butted" against each other Vertically & Horizontally on the sheet - The only white area was on the left & right edges (& possibly top & bottom) leaving "absolutely no room for error during the cutting process" - Regular baseball cards with white borders can have a 70/30 to 75/25 centering & are considered to be Near Mint per PSA Standards - Therefore it would be unfair to penalize Grading of these exhibits for a slight Off Center Cut - In addition, those graded EX NM below may have a slight touch of wear on 1 or 2 corners, which generally don't show up in the scans
