In its second year of issuing baseball cards, the Exhibit Supply Company increased the number of cards in its set to 128, including eight players from each of the league's 16 teams.  All but nine of the players who appeared in the 1921 issue are pictured again in the 1922 set, with 74 additional players.  Presented here is a collection of 37 cards from the issue, all consigned from the family of their original owner who collected the cards in the 1920s.  The cards average G-VG condition, with some lesser and a few better.  The collection includes the following: John Bassler (2), Sam Bohne, Geo. Burns (Cincinnati), George Burns (Cleveland), Joe Bush (2, one with a corner clip), Wilbur Cooper, Dave Danforth (2), Joe Dugan, Bib Falk, Ira Flagstead, Wally Gerber, Wilbur Hubbell, E.R.
