The 1953 Canadian Exhibit issue is an interesting one, containing a blend of major and minor league players (the Montreal Royals of the International League), produced in much smaller quantities than the American Exhibit sets and issues only in Canada.  Unlike the American Exhibit sets, the cards in the Canadian issue were numbered and issued in two series of 32 cards each.  The Major League players are made with images reused from past Exhibit cards, while the Montreal players feature unique poses.  Offered here is a grouping of 32 cards from the issue, including duplicates, mostly from the more difficult Montreal Royals series.  Cards grade VG in general with a few better and some lesser.  A breakdown of the cards included are as follows:  #3 Bearden, 6 Irvin (HOF), 20 Campanella (HOF), 22 Kiner (HOF), 35 Simmons (2, both blue tone), 39 Moryn, 41 Roebuck (3, two purple, one blue), 42 Rose, 43 Amoros, 44 Milliken, 45 Fabbro, 46 Jacobs (3, two blue one purple), 47 Mauro, 48 Fiala (2, one blue one purple), 49 Nelson, 51 Lee (2, both purple), 52 Coleman, 53 Marchio (2, one blue, one purple), 54 Samson (2, both purple), 55 Mills (2, one blue, one purple), and 56 Ronning.  32 cards total.
