Most to all of the Exhibit photos came from the owner/president of the Exhibit Supply Co. He consigned them in large lots in auctions, with the lots coming with a hand signed letter from him. I had the boxing and wrestling Exhibit photos, which included his letter and an Exhibit Supply Co. certificate authenticating the photos. His letter basically gave a history of the company and how he obtained it-- he was the second owner. The founder/original owner sold the company, with its archives, as he was ready to retire. The second owner had been the owner of several collectible stores in Saint Louis when he bought out Exhibit Supply.
