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 variations and scarcities, many of which are included here.  The set includes all the cards except Gehrig, and includes several small/large projection variations. All but one of the cards has been graded by SGC.  A condition breakdown of the entire set is 1% NM, 14% EX/MT, 45% EX, 14% VG/EX, 13% VG, and 9% lesser.
