Hockey Exhibit Card Question
 

A question for the hockey experts...I own a few Hockey "Exhibit style" Cards....as they are known... like Maurice Richard and several others (Jean Beliveau, Boom Boom Geoffrion) with their names in block style letters...But, I also have a few with player names in script type like Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay... the card back, size and width are all the same and the pictures are sort of grainy just like Richard's pictured here...are these part of the same set or are they something else? I acquired them awhile ago in a lot with other hockey cards from Canada.

Going off of what I have learned about baseball Exhibits from 47-66 there is a mix of script and block style print on player names this is normal. I don`t have any Exhibit Hockey in my collection but I would have to say those are legit.

The two images on the right are actually Bee Hive photos (Series Two).

They are a separate issue from Exhibits, which don't seem to be plentiful these days.

Ahhh...Bee Hive...Thank You for the information! :)

Guess I just learned something new. Never heard of Bee-hive not trying to hi-jack but what else did they produce?

I found a cool link that talks about their products and what they produced...

Are the Bee Hive products photos or printed items on cardboard? The "exhibits" in question are printed on cardboard. They could be ripped off from Bee Hive products. Also, what is the size? The few Bee Hives I've seen are a lot bigger than postcard sized.

I don't think any of the hockey "exhibits" are actual Exhibit Supply Co. products but are instead a Canadian product that mimics the ESCO products.
