1947-66 Exhibit
The 1947-66 Exhibit set includes 336 unnumbered cards issued over 20 years. The cards feature black and white photos printed on thick cardboard and have blank backs. The cards were created by the Exhibit Supply Co. of Chicago; the company released a new set each year. Many players were issued in more than one year while some only appeared in a few years, creating scarcities. Cards that were released in only 1966 are rarer than others. Many differences are found among the cards is word placement. Here is a guide to help date the cards
