This explains why there was a hole in my Exhibit Sets 81/82 until recently.

My favorite card that I can afford.

That Chuck Klein PC collection is off the charts! I'm so happy I've got one in my personal collection.

I love seeing Zeenuts in this thread. Here is my humble 1920s contribution, a 2004 PCL Hall of Fame inductee:

I've got about half the 1927 Exhibit set including this Ruth.

Here are three background color variations from everybody's non-favorite strip card set, W9316. Bucking the 1920's trend, they are awash in color, or mostly washed out color. Except for the red flaming lips.

Not a baseball card but it's my favorite 20s card (and the only one I own for that matter):

I started collecting the 1920's Exhibits cards about 10 years ago. I really enjoy the vintage photography.

Here are both variations of the 1928 F50 Yuengling's Ice Cream card of Sam Rice - one with the Babe Ruth back and one without. Yuengling claims to be the oldest brewery in America. My wife and I recently experienced the Yuengling Brewery tour in Pottsville, PA. There was a small museum area with vintage Yuengling memorabilia, including a few items pertaining to the Prohibition years when Yuengling converted to making ice cream. I asked our tour guide and the museum area attendant how Yuengling's 1928 baseball cards were distributed, but they had no idea what I was talking about.

Here's 2 of my favs

Val, Al, Chris and Kenny - your cards are simply off the charts awesome! And everyone else's ain't half bad either! Loved seeing those incredibly tough-to-find 1924 Diaz Cigarette cards!

A few Zeenuts to add to the 1920s thread:

I don't have too many cards from the 1920s any longer. Here is one shown several times but is near the top of my current crop of '20s cards.

Recent pickup that I’m in love with and am posting everywhere. Also, I think this thread is great.

A few of my favorites. I love the 1920's Exhibits.

This one has got to be one of the best looking of the decade.

Here's some of my 1920s Cleveland Baseball type cards
