Lot # 1693: 1962 Statistic Back Exhibits Complete Set (32)

Complete 32-card set of 1962 Statistic Back Exhibits plus six duplicates. These unnumbered black-and-white cards were issued on thick cardboard and have the player's statistics printed in black or red on the reverse. This collection includes twenty-six red backs and six black backs. The six duplicates consist of a second red-backed Spahn and five back variations (Cepeda, Fox, Hoak, Mays, and Siebern). These cards are bright, fresh, and attractive. The set is highlighted by many of the great stars of the era including Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Sandy Koufax, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, and Stan Musial. Condition is 10% Ex-Mt, 71% Vg-Ex to Ex, and 19% Gd to Vg. Keys: Aaron (Vg-Ex), Banks (Ex+), Berra (Vg+), Clemente (Ex), Koufax (Ex-Mt), Mantle (Vg+), Maris (Vg-Ex), two Mays (Ex, red back and Vg-Ex+, black back), and Musial (Vg). The Statistic Back Exhibit card sets (they were issued in 1963 also) are among the most interesting and overlooked sets of the early 1960s, an era in which competition in the card manufacturing world spurred innovation among all card companies, prompting the Exhibit Supply Company to add statistic backs. Total: 38 cards (set of 32 plus five variations and one duplicate).
