These are Exhibits from 1947-66, and are checklisted in the SCD big book. Frank is right to be careful about reprints. If you have real Exhibits in hand you will notice the difference. The reprints are usually slightly darker on the front, and are printed on noticeably darker and ever so slightly thicker stock. The ones I've seen up close and the few I got stuck with on ebay many years ago were not real glossy; in fact, they were almost matte. For what it's worth, I think yours are real. Adam Warshaw may want to chime in on this as well.

Edited to add that I believe these are very underpriced, perhaps because people shy away from what they fear are reprints. If you're interested in compiling a set and aren't into high grade examples (7-9), these are very affordable, and I would suggest you buy a couple of beaters for a buck or two and get a feel for the real deal.
