Default Exhibits - why relatively cheap ?

Posted By: davidcycleback

There's nothing hidden wrong with the Exhibits, and the Pre-War issues may indeed be undervalued. Though the 1947-66 are extra plentiful-- so, other than rare variations, SPs and mint cards-- that issue will never be worth lots.

As they are not like the classic baseball card-- too large, often blank backed-- many collectors either don't classify them as cards or consider them oddball. This has something to do with demand.

If Exhibits interest you as a collector, there's no reason not to collect them.

Also, the Exhibit Supply auctioned off lots of its archives, meaning the original art (photos) for many of the cards are around-- this includes the art for Ruth, Cobb, Mantle, Mays, etc.
