Sorry about the non exhibits in the above post!

Even More Exhibits

some older ones here

I know the 47-66`s are not pre-war but I figured I would show some of the hard to find ones. This thread got me thinking I know I have a Mickey Mantle portrait version somewhere now I`ve got to find it! :eek:

The search is over I found my Mantle I was startin to get nervous!!!

Some nice Rizzo`s here how can I get one!!!

A few from my Salutations Set

1921 Exhibit Boxers

My "boxing" contribution...

I've got these 6 boxers from the 1921 exhibit set.

What do I have here anyway ?

I know it's ''Chief Meyers'' as a Giant but is it an 'exhibit card'? The back is blank .Thank you for your help , regards , MikeGarcia

Mike - You have two Chief Myers Pinkerton Postcards - W530.

Have this one from 1946 I believe, and one other not scanned of Joe Adcock. Available if anyone is interested.

1926-29 exhibit ruth blank back

1926-29 Exhibit Ruth blank back. Does anyone know, definitively, that these were not produced by the company that produced the Exhibit cards. I noticed that the same image was used in the 1920's four in one Exhibits.

2 new ones from the 'bay today.

So many great cards!

Very cool light up Exhibit machine -- MEARS actually has several Exhibit vendors in their current auction.

Martin:

Those cards are definitively, absolutely, positively Exhibit cards. I wrote an article on this issue years ago for Vintage & Classic Baseball Collector and another one in Old Cardboard (#12, Summer 2007). In a nutshell: there was a lot of conjecture that it was not an Exhibit issue because the backs of some said "Not to be used in Exhibit machines." I ran an ad in VCBC back in 2000 asking for data on the set and I got a response from Elwood "Woody" Scharf, the man who took the first stab at detailed check-listing of this issue for The Trader Speaks in the 1970s. In our correspondence he sent me an article mentioning that another collector had informed him that he'd seen one with the Exhibit coupon on the back. Woody did not have an example or copy. Since then I have personally seen three other cards with the coupons on their backs, with the "not to be used in Exhibit machines" slogan right beside them. One of our members who does not publicize his holdings has one and I had the chance to go over it carefully. It is absolutely an Exhibit card. Here is another example from that mixed baseball-boxing 4 on 1 issue you referenced that was made using the same artwork, an issue that Woody alluded to it in his articles but could not confirm the existence of (probably because it is really tough to find):

Just for a fun aside, here is an example of a strip card made from the same artwork as the PC back Exhibits (note that it is not a cut down 4 on 1--those exist too--but is readily distinguished from the Exhibits due to the thinner smoother stock used. Also below is a strip of the boxers from the related issue:
