Great fun to collect, but harder than many to complete. My Johnny Rizzo appears to have lived in a dumpster most of its life. And Gabby Hartnett, well, I've never sen a really good one. On the other hand the Foxx card is consistently valued at $100 in EX or better, and they're quite easy to find. Reprints are a problem, but since most of mine came from the Kennywood Park Penny Arcade in Pittsburgh in about 1952, I worry less.

I don't make a point to collect them but I do enjoy them. How else could I have purchased a Dimaggio for $20 and not felt like I robbed someone?

Like the 1934 Batter-Ups, I also love Exhibits for their crazy color variations.....they literally almost hurt the eyes.

I like the exhibits too. But the prices people have been asking lately for graded ones are astronomical. I think the grading companies wouldn't touch these for many years, so not that many have been graded. And I've seen many listings for "highest graded" examples -- in grades like "4" -- with asking prices that are simply a fortune. Some even sell, I guess to collectors who are trying to improve their registry street cred. But it's really threatening to make these very affordable cards into unaffordable ones. I've seen graded Exhibits in the 3-5 range sell for ten times what they sell for in the same condition ungraded, in the same month.

Exhibits are part of the spectrum of great baseball collectibles. Gotta love 'em.

Wow, some beautiful exhibits shown in this thread. I really am jealous of the Ted Williams that smtjoy posted, I'd love to have that card in that grade.
I agree with all the other post, it is a very attractive set that I feel is very undervalued. You can get many HOF'ers for under $100 if your not too picky about condition. And the photography is fantastic too, each is like it's own little piece of artwork. Why this set is so overlooked I don't understand, but that's ok with me, makes it more affordable to the average Joe collector. |
