4 in 1 Exhibits
To anyone's knowledge were the 4 in 1's ever "distributed" as single minatures? Am I correct in assuming that any one of the single panels that is found is the result of a previous owner cutting the original down? I ran across a listing tonight that seemed to intimate that they were distributed this way as well. Thanks. Jeff

Jeff, I've wondered the same question. I've picked up a few singles, which never seemed to cost more than a few dollars each. I paid $30 for a really nice Gehrig. But there's a guy on eBay selling "singles" of common players for $100 each and here's his description why:
"This rare card is a 1933 Baseball Exhibit Card produced by Exhibit Supply Company of Chicago. When they are found they command a premium price because they are so difficult to locate. The card was originally issued as a 1933 Four on One Exhibit Card. Some were distributed as smaller single cards. This card is 1 3/4 X 2 5/8 inches. This card is a blankback which is an indication of the year ..." I started a thread about this subject once before, and I don't recall anyone believing there was a separate, single card issue ...

Chris,
That's my understanding as well. I sent him a query and asked where they were "distributed" as minatures as well but have not heard back. $30 for a Gehrig makes $299.99 for Dazzy Vance look a little steep!

Quite a few of his look like they were cut apart with scissors. The cuts are not even close to being straight ...

minis
My father collected these as a kid straight out of the Exhibit machines. They were NOT distributed as miniatures. Dad, and many others, cut them up into fours. Dad has a scrapbook he put together, primarily of 1929-30 cards, that look great in an album page with all the different color combinations. The Ruth and Gehrig look great cut up....(I think I am going to be sick). Very common in those days apparently. Dad has close to 60 of them cut up. If I wanted to, I could soak them off the album page and then piece them together nicely.
Anyway, the guy on ebay is crazy and is deliberately misleading people.
