Jack Quinn Exhibit Question

[Archive]

Posted By: Rhett Yeakley

The Exhibits produced between 1921-1924 all had pretty much the same format. Many players could be found with a border while other players were produced borderless. These cards are generally broken down into 3 different "sets"...1921, 1922, and 1923-24. With scarcity pretty much in that order as well (with 1921's being the most common by quite a bit).

There are cards in all 3 sets that were produced borderless, while other players have the white borders. Your Quinn is from the 1922 set and is always found with the white border. The majority of the players in the sets were borderless (full bleed) shots, but those that have borders are not any "tougher" to find. It is interesting to note that some players were produced one year without a border, but later produced with one in a later set (or vice versa). Thus is the case with Babe Ruth... his 1921 is borderless, while his 1923/24 is with the white border (and is also perhaps the toughest Exhibit card in existence.)

Example of some players with white borders...
1921- Alexander, Owen Bush, Cobb, Gowdy, Hornsby, etc.
1922- Quinn, Hildebrand (Ump), Rigler (Ump), etc.
1923/24- Pipp, Ruth, etc.

Just a few ramblings about the set,
