Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>those are cut from a larger card that consisted of 4 such photos. the designation eludes me for the moment...but they're not strip cards...just cut from a larger 4 in 1 card. Most likely from the early 30's...I'm not sure what value they have...$50-60 for the gehrig...maybe up to $100 for the ruth...probably a little less.<br>

Posted By: <b>Brad Green</b><p><br>These have been cut from an Exhibit 4/1. I'm not sure which year, but it is probably 1934 or 1935. Someone else could probably help nail down the year for you. I don't have access to a baseball card catalog at the moment.

Posted By: <b>Brad Green</b><p><br>The Exhibit 4/1's use the same player pictures over several years, so it may be nearly impossible to pinpoint that exact year that those cut-outs were made. In my guess of the year above, I was assuming that the Ruth and Gehrig came from the same 4/1.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Ruth and Gehrig are on the same 4in1 Exhibit in the 1929-30 set, and the 1931-32 set. Gehrig is also on some of the other 4in1 Exhibits.

Posted By: <b>Brad Green</b><p><br>The 1929-30 and 1931-32 Exhibit 4/1's do not have blank backs like these cut-outs.<br>

Posted By: <b>Scott Mt. Joy</b><p>I'm pretty sure its from the 1934 set, they were both on the same card and that color was used that year with nothing on the back, in 1935 Ruth had a different pic, in 29-30 and 31-32 they all had print on the back, 1933 gehrig was not included and that color combo was not used. Here is a pic of the 1934 -<br><br><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n182/smtjoy/Exhibit%20Collection/1934/34-ex-nyal-50.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Seems to me that the color of what Nick has might not be correct for the years when the combination was possible.<br><br>Nick, have you any real 4in1's?? Have you seen or held one??

Posted By: <b>Chris Counts</b><p>I recently picked up this Gehrig. I was told it came from a 1934 4-in-1 Exhibit, even though the color doesn't match. Is it possible more than one color was used in a specific 4-in-1 set?<br><br><a href="http://s41.photobucket.com/albums/e278/ccmcnutt/?action=view&amp;current=34gehrig.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e278/ccmcnutt/34gehrig.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>I think 1934s are available in various colors. There are some yellow ones that don't look as good to me as the blacks, sepias, and blues.

Posted By: <b>Brad Green</b><p><br>I think all of the Exhibit 4/1's come in different colors. I know the 1934's come in at least two different colors (blue and green), but other colors like brown probably exist as well.<br><br><a href="http://www.bandkgreen.net/lefty_grove/z_1934_exhibit41.htm" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.bandkgreen.net/lefty_grove/z_1934_exhibit41.htm</a>

Posted By: <b>Scott Mt. Joy</b><p>1934's come in 4 colors, one of which matches the ruth and gehrig. I dont see any other year they can be from.<br><br><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n182/smtjoy/Exhibit%20Collection/1934/34-ex-bostonnl-brown-50.jpg" alt="[linked image]">
