Issued over a period of 20 years, the Exhibit cards generally categorized as "1947-66 Exhibits" are a fantastically interesting and complex group of cards, as new sets were issued year after year, adding and subtracting subjects with each issue.  The result of this is varying levels of scarcity throughout the set, with some players appearing in just one or two years and others repeated each year.  The issue is also noted by a large number of variations in printing, paper stock, and placement of the credit line at the card bottom.  Ultimately there are 336 cards and variations noted in the Standard Catalog.

Presented here is a grouping of 32 cards from the issue, including some key Hall of Famers and tough examples.  The collection includes the following: Aparicio (HOF - portrait) VG/EX, Appling (HOF w/"An Exhibit Card") - G, Casey VG/EX, J. Coleman G, Dom DiMaggio VG/EX, Drysdale (HOF - Glove at Waist) VG, Drysdale (HOF - Portrait) G, Easter G, Fox (HOF) VG, Furillo F (writing on reverse), Howard VG/EX, Kaline (HOF - Kneeling) VG/EX, Kaline (HOF - Portrait w/bats) G, Kell (HOF) VG, Keller (with "An Exhibit Card") EX, Kiner (HOF) VG/EX, Kluzewski (Plain uniform) EX, Kluzewski (batting) EX, Mazeroski (HOF Batting) VG/EX, Page G, Reese (HOF - Ball not visible) VG/EX, Richardson EX, Schoendienst (HOF - Batting) VG, Sewell VG, Skowron EX, Slaughter (HOF VG/EX), Snider (HOF "B" on cap) VG/EX, Snider (HOF "LA" on cap) VG, Walters VG, Williams (HOF) VG/EX, 1948 Boston Braves VG, 1955 New York Yankees VG/EX.  32 cards total.
