I appologize if my comments have a negative effect on your auction. However, I am just simply stating my experiences - what I have observed over the last year. I am not bending the numbers. I have no hidden agenda. Just providing information that hopefully is useful to other collectors out there.
As for the Ruth exhibit being issued in 1923, I also do not understand how this has been determined. From what I have heard, most of the longtime exhibit collectors do not believe that exhibits from 1921, 1922 and 1923 were distributed as individual and distinct sets, but rather as one whole grouping distributed over a period from 1921-23. Therefore, couldn't it be possible that the bordered Ruth exhibit was issued in 1921, and just simply not reproduced in mass quantities over the next 3 years?
