Posted By: <b>mark s.</b><p>gentlemen, thanks for your responses.<br>altho the mendelsohn (m-101-6) was probably produced early in 1920, i would consider it more of an &quot;exhibit&quot; or a &quot;premium&quot; (edited to add: Identified in American Card Catalog as &quot;Photo Card Premiums&quot;) than a &quot;card&quot; because of it's sheer size (4 3/8 x 6 1/2)...<br>what is the hobby consensus?<br>also, despite sporting red (sox?) sleeves, ruth's w514 example declares him to be the &quot;home run KING&quot;...<br>wouldn't it be more likely that the title was bestowed AFTER the 1920 season, and this card produced subsequently?<br><br> <br><br>
