Exhibits - why relatively cheap ?
Posted By: steve
The larger Exhibit cards have my interest. They have very nice photos with larger pictures. They often have single digit population numbers. And the prices seem to be a fraction of a "regular issue" price. Almost seems to good to be true. |

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. |

Exhibits - why relatively cheap ?

I've always really liked the card type, I find them very appealing. There are a couple of forum members who really know the ins and outs of them, so they can answer better than I. Maybe besides their wide and decades-long distribution, some collectors might find that -- except for a few post-war years, the backs are blank. As far as a card investment, what "doesn't" rise in price (he asked rhetorically.)? Only a matter of time I'd guess. Most HOFers are relatively, affordable. The Ruth's, Cobb's and Gehrig's are usually several times higher than the next highest price, especially the Ruths. Here's a few '21s to tide you over. |

Exhibits are a quite attractive set in many respects. However, they are postcard sized, which is thought of as too big by some collectors. Their price is lower than many issues, and I am sure that the price of these cards reflects their lack of popularity. An additional cause of this set being less popular than some, is that it was issued without a product. This factor is considered important by some collectors because they feel that the product which the card is issued with somehow validates the card. |

Exhibits offer some of the only action photos for the time. Additionally, many HOFers rookie cards appear in Exhibit format. |

There are also counterfeit cards of the later exhibit cards...I got a few in a lot I won from a Hunt's auction in May. They are very easy to tell from the real ones if you are familiar with them. |

I am currently working on putting together a complete run of cards from the salutation series and the 47-66 Exhibits.I hesitate to call them a "set" since images were carried over from year to year.You can get a lot of bang for your buck with hall of famers and other star players that would cost an arm and a leg in other issues.I hope prices remain low until I am finished getting the ones I need! |

I started collecting exhibits about 2 years ago. I really like the big photos on the cards and felt they were a good value for the money. As has been mentioned finding the 1921-1938 cards are a lot harder than the 1939-1966 versions. |
