Produced over an eight year period by the Exhibit Supply Company of Chicago, the "Salutation" Exhibits are thus named because of the "personalized" greeting that accompanies the facsimile autograph of each player.  The unnumbered, black and white set includes a host of valuations and scarcities, many of which are included here.  Presented is a 71-card collection that represents nearly 80% of a complete master set.  Each of the cards have been graded by SGC.  A condition breakdown of the collection is as follows: 4% NM/MT; 23% NM; 27% EX/MT; 32% EX; 4% VG/EX; 7% VG; and 3% GOOD.
