Outstanding grouping of football Exhibits from the sets issued in three groups of 32 cards in 1948 1950 and 1951. As with many Exhibit issues the multiple years of issue coupled with the addition and deletion of various subjects have resulted in a number of rarities and single prints scattered throughout the set. Considered complete at 60 cards including the checklist we are pleased to offer a 50-card collection including many of the rarities along with higher-grade specimens. 40 of the cards have been graded by SGC. The graded portion of the collection includes the following: SGC NM/MT 88 (3 cards): Canadeo Hoernschemeyer Tripucka; SGC NM 84 (7 cards): Dottley McColl Morrison Ortmann Rhodemyre Taliaferro Trippi; SGC EX/NM 80 (7 cards): Barwegan Geri Matson Motley Smith Tunnell Waterfield; SGC EX+ 70 (4 cards): Christman Rykovich Sitko Younger; SGC EX 60 (10 cards): Connor Fears Harder Justice (SP) Lujack Standlee Tittle (RC) Turner Williams Young; SGC VG/EX 50 (6 cards): Baugh Conerly Dudley Hoerner (SP) Layne Tittle (RC); SGC VG 40 (6 cards): Albert Dobbs Graham Perry (SP) Ruby (SP) Wedemeyer (SP). The Wedemeyer is extremely tough considered the key to the issue. Sixteen additional cards are ungraded. They are as follows: Albert (VG) Barwegan (VG) Canadeo (VG/EX) Dottley (VG/EX) Fears (EX/MT) Hoernschemeyer (VG) McColl (G) Morrison (VG/EX) Ortmann (VG) Pritko (SP - P) Ratterman (2 - F and VG) Rhodemyre (VG/EX) Smith (VG) Taliaferro (VG/EX) Williams (EX). The Pritko is also considered one of the issue's very difficult and key cards the second most valuable in the set. An exceptional grouping of 56 cards from the beautiful Exhibit set including the set's two key rarities with 40 cards graded by SGC. 56 cards total.
