Check out the '51-'53 Exhibit "Made in USA" postcard back that was reissued in 1955, that is, if you can find one. One nice aspect of this card is that the jersey bears the patch that was only worn in '51, i.e., the Mick's rookie season. Last time I checked, the PSA and SGC had graded a total of just two of them. Good luck finding multiples of any card in this series! Can you say "bright future?" Got mine several years ago when it was buried towards the back of a Huggins and Scott auction, where it didn't attract much attention. When I told one seller of other '55 postcard backs how little I paid, his comment was, "you stole that card!" As stated, there are a number of very key Exhibit cards to be rounded up and taken out of circulation!
Happy hunting,
Larry
