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 issued 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. Presented here is the complete high number run of cards 33-64 which includes many of the important Hall of Famers. The cards all present extremely strong with sharp corners and edges and clean image quality. A few of the cards including the Stan Musial and Walter Alston cards have some mild water staining on the reverse that does show very slightly on the front. The collection grades approximately 8% NM 41% EX/MT 25% EX and 9@ VG/EX. Key cards include Sandy Amoros (NM) Tommy Lasorda (EX/MT) Stan Musial (VG/EX) and Walter Alston (VG/EX). 32 cards total.
