Default Exhibits

Thanks Greg. It reminded me of the wooden machines at Kennywood Park, near Pittsburgh, where I bought Exhibits until I ran out of pennies. Baseball players and cowboys. Baseball was a nice mix of Salutations and early cards in the '47-'66 set.

It's a shame that Exhibits get so little attention. I think they tell the history of the early Twentieth century game better than any other set, or set of sets.

And I think it's cool that they stayed b/w, or whatever sepia is. My favorite:

My grandfather used to tell me about Pirate games in which, years after he had departed the team, people would still yell "Put in Yellowhorse!" when a pitcher was going bad.
