The 1947-66 Exhibit issue covered a span of 20 years, with the company issuing a new set each year.  While many of the issue's players were repeated year after year, others only appeared in one or two, leading to a variety of levels of scarcity throughout the set.  Since some of the cards were reprinted year after year, some are found with minor variations as well.

Outstanding card of Hall of Famer Satchel Paige, its production dating to 1949, the same year as his acknolwedged Bowman and Leaf rookie cards.  This attractive example grades VG 3, with very light corner wear largely responsible for the grade.  As the realized prices of Paige's Bowman and Leaf rookie cards continue to escalate, a more affordable alternative is quietly available here.
