I have been an Exhibit collector for years. They did and still do represent a great way to get a contemporary card of a HOFer at a reasonable cost. They are not quite the bargain they were say 5-10 years ago but with patience you can assemble a nice group at a moderate cost for the most part. There are a few sets ('23-'24, '26 and '33 4in1 come to mind) that will run some coin for HOFers and stars. As for reprints, I can't say that I have seen the Salutations reprinted to a large degree but many of the stars out of the '47-'66 set have been reprinted. Some times they can be id'd by a grayish back. Adam's website (2nd post) has a lot of great info re Exhibits.
