Congratulations! I’m sure it will be awesome! Hopefully I’ll be able to pick one up this year.

Nice job Adam. Getting one on order today. Will save me time from going to your website for reference and asking Scott and Bob questions all the time. Lol

I found an online coupon to use on Lulu. Use FWD15 when checking out, for an additional 15% off

[Rickyy]

Great job Adam. This book should help clear up a lot of questions in the hobby about this complex subject.

[Griffins]

Ordered. If it helps half as much as America's Great Boxing Cards it will be well worth it.

[edhans]

I'll take one at the National if you"re bringing some.

[Snapolit1]

Bought one. Love reading bout Exhibits.

[Exhibitman]

Barring unusual conditions I should be at the National with books. I'll be at Al's table (Love of the Game), or more accurately, my briefcase and candy wrappers will be there because I will be all over the floor looking for cards as usual.

[edhans]

Always look forward to seeing you, Adam.

[ls7plus]

Just bought one and very much look forward to reading it!

Best wishes, Adam,

Larry

I just bought one and thanks for the discount code it worked. Now If I could only figure out all the actors actresses and cowboys, I would be set!

Read on a long flight today. Really enjoyed it. Answered a bunch of questions that have vexed me for a while. My Not Use in Exhibit Machine card is in fact an Exhibits card. Who knew. Will use going forward many times I’m sure. Nice job.

[Shankweather]

Just ordered, this is quite an accomplishment

Who knew? I did

Thanks for the kind words.

Just got my copy in the mail this morning and a card I have been looking for since I saw it on one of Adam's web sites about 2 years ago.

[Exhibitman]

Yes, there are some fringe benefits to an Exhibit card collection...

[BeanTown]

Just got the book in today. Learned something within minutes of going through it. So instead of thinking the 1926-29 series postcard backs were from that period is wrong. 1925-31 is the correct time period.

I knew the Silhouette cards were rare but what I didnt know is that a blank back card most likely was printed as a short print from 1925. So....if this is the case, the 1925 exhibit Gehrig rookie has company with even a more rare issue of he Silhouette.

The one thing I was unclear on was what timeframe the card would be, if it had the "This Side For Correspondence" on the reverse? Would there be a chance its 1925 or 26 on those as well?

I have never seen a Gehrig blank back or 'correspondence' no USA back. The 'correspondence' without the Made in USA is definitely the earliest printed back in the set. I think it could be 1925 too but also may slop over to 1926; I am not sure. Woody Scharf may be right with his Set 81 analysis; I will try to dig out and scan the info he sent me on that subject. He wrote of firsthand knowledge of the 1925 issue date.

[Baseballcrazy62]

Just received mine. Highly suggest you order it.

Thanks

Kudos to Adam. It is a very enjoying read, a nice way for me to spend this holiday weekend. A must for any Exhibit Card fan!

Love the exhibit man

[mawitzi]

I got my copy yesterday. Very interesting book. I have learned a lot in the first few pages.

[mantlefan]

Just finished reading mine.

I finally get the rationale of Exhibits and the difficulty of dating and grading them!!

5 STARS!

[BeanTown]

Wanted to show some cool cards that Adam's book covers.

[RedsFan1941]

wow wow wow

amazingly cool

thanks for sharing!!!!!

[frankh8147]

I received my copy yesterday - great book Adam! I highly recommend it.

One a side note, it was nice to see these guys get their own section (rather than just being lumped in with the 1922 Eastern Exhibits).

[PowderedH2O]

I spent the better part of Saturday reading it. I still have a bunch left to read. Well worth $25.

[Exhibitman]

Some corrections (thanks to Fred McKie for eagle-eyed reading):

Page 64: The Pafko C on cap is the easier variation. The "no C" light background version that dates to 1959 is the tougher version.

Page 65: The Lombardi projection variation. Here is a picture:



The center and right cards.

Page 67: The Doby AEC card should read "a 1949 or 1950 card"; the 1940 was a typo.

Page 68: The Satchel Paige without the AEC: here is a picture:



Page 69: The Pittsburgh Post Gazette back has been seen with two different sportswriters on them. They are also known in a Champions card (Mikan). Another rando brand advertising is Bomba Chiclets from Puerto Rico.

Hope these help.

I got sucked into the Exhibit world with the Salutation exhibits.

The book has me intrigued. I know there's no way to confirm the year that an actual physical card was produced, but I also know there were only certain cards produced in any given year. I think I read somewhere that 32 different cards were made each year.

In the book, have you been able to determine what cards were produced in a given year, in say 1942?
