Years
In review of documentation, the years of the cards can also be documented based on the "Exhibit Supply Company Baseball Dating Chart" that can be found on the internet.
Ted #9 Showing dates to 1939-1941
Ted #9 Not Showing ("Made in USA" tall/thin font, measuring 9/16") dates to 1946
Ted #9 Not Showing ("Made in USA" short/fat font, measuring 5/8") dates to 1948 (although if a 1/2" version is noted it would date to 1947)
Ted #9 Not Showing ("Printed in USA") dates to 1957-1960 (the Dating chart has two fonts listed here, based on the spacing of the "U.S.A" and the periods. It dates wide spacing to 1957-1959 and the narrow spacing at 1960)
As many will quickly note, there were many other Exhibits versions made in years that have not been listed above. There may be Ted cards for these font/listing versions that I just have not found yet.
Too passionate about this stuff,
Dave
