Ruth card - Exhibit or not ?
 
Posted By: <b>Steve Parmentier</b><p>I recently picked up this Ruth card labeled as 1926-1929 Exhibits. Yet the back looks like a standard postcard and specifically reads, "Not to be used in Exhibit Machines."<br /><br />Based on what the card says, I would conclude it is a postcard, not an Exhibit card. So why does PSA label it as an Exhibit?<br /><br />Confused, Steve.<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1195061131.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Page 142 in the 2007 SCD - the 1926-29 Exhibits had postcard backs.

Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p>BTW, Some postcard-back Exhibits don't have a postcard-back. <br /><br />Very nice Ruth.

Posted By: <b>Steve Parmentier</b><p>Thanks for input.<br /><br />So it sounds as if not all exhibits came out if machines, correct? <br /><br />Is it likely that this card was just sitting in a postcard rack with all the other postcards at the corner store?<br /><br />Or more a promo item with possible redemption by the store clerk?<br /><br />Steve

Posted By: <b>Jim</b><p>Likely manufactured by a competitor of Exhibit supply Company, possibly Evans L.A. Card would probably jam if used in an Exhibit machine.
