The 1926-29 Exhibits "Postcard Back" issue is speculated to have been issued in the Philadelphia area.  Though the cards typically feature postcard backs, they are occasionally found blank, and some with the notice "Not for use in Exhibit Machines."  Further, some contain a country of origin (USA) added to the backs.  The cards can be found printed in a variety of color tints as well.  The result is a wide variety of possible variations with differing degrees of scarcity, very appealing to advanced hobbyists.

Green-tinted example of Paul Waner's 1926-29 Exhibit card, a tougher blank-backed example.  The FAIR 1.5 grade assessed by SGC is a result of paper remnants on the reverse, a product of scrapbook removal.  Light corner wear and chipping is also evident on the front, however, the card was largely protected from extensive wear due to the scrapbook in which it was mounted.  Extremely strong eye appeal for the grade.
