Outstanding collection of 1921 and 1922 Exhibits, loaded with key Hall of Famers plus an important card of Smoky Joe Wood.  These cards were consigned from an original owner collection from the family of the youngster who collected them in their year of issue.  The cards have remained with the family for a generation before being consigned to this auction.  These are some outstanding early Exhibits from which the 1921 Babe Ruth featured elsewhere in this auction was found.

The collection and a condition breakdown is as follows:  1921 Exhibits (6 cards): Grover Cleveland Alexander (HOF - F), Max Carey (HOF - G), George Kelly (HOF - G), Sam Rice (HOF - G), Ray Schalk (HOF - VG/EX), Tris Speaker (HOF - F); 1922 Exhibits (6 cards): Home Run Baker (HOF - G); Billy Evans (HOF - umpire - F), Harry Heilmann (HOF - 2 cards - VG and F), Eppa Rixey (HOF, F), Smoky Joe Wood (F).  A tremendous original owner collection of early Exhibit Hall of Famers, collector grade yet with strong eye appeal, highly prized among advanced collectors.  12 cards total.
