Logic would tell you that a lot of this product is still out there. The Exhibit Supply Co. of Chicago produced gobs of this stuff during the pre war era yet if you run a weekly search on eBay very little of this product is offered for bid/sale.
With the elevated interest in pre-war materials and ongoing respect for trading card images of pre war HOF'ers you might expect more of this product offered for sale regularly.
Anyone have any thoughts besides the ol' supply and demand theory?

with the understanding that they are undervalued currently?

I also find many of them misidentified as postcards in other categories. A good % of them are not in the pre1930 card category. Over the years I have found dozens in the postcard categories, especially the 1926-29 Postcard Back Exhibits.

They are undervalued, and IMO very attractive,, especially the wild colored ones.

I bought these cards as a kid, at the beach (well, they weren't actually pre-war, but they were the same thing). They did not fit my hand well, they didn't flip very well, they were too big for my pocket, and they didn't look that good; compared to the Topps and Bowman from home.

I typically threw them away before I left for home, but not every time. Sometimes they got saved with the ski-ball coupons (and got thrown away later).
