Beginning in 1929, the Exhibit Supply company changed the format of their cards by printing four players' pictures on each card - a practice that they would continue through the 1930s.  Each of the 32 cards issued in 1929-30 contains a postcard back, and are printed in a variety of color combinations.  In most cases, the postcard back remains white, however, there are rare instances where the postcard back takes on the same color as the photo tint on the front.

Presented here is an outstanding complete set of 32 1929-30 Exhibit cards, in a variety of color combinations.  Each card has been graded by SGC.  The cards grade as follows:  SGC EX+ 5.5 (1 card): Hartnett/Beck (HOF); SGC EX 5 (2 cards): Alexander/McManus (HOF), Todt/Rhyne SGC VG/EX+ 4.5 (1 card): Alexander/Wilson (HOF); SGC VG/EX 4 (4 cards): Cissell/Clancy, Critz/Walker (HOF), Goslin/Bluege (HOF), and Root/Cuyler (HOF); SGC VG+ 3.5 (1 card): Shea/Uhle (HOF); SGC VG 3 (14 cards): Dugan/Sisler (HOF), Fonseca/Sewell (HOF), Foxx/Cochrane (HOF), Haney/Hafey (HOF), Having/Ruffing (HOF), Hogan/Jackson (HOF), Hoyt/Lazzeri (HOF), Melillo/Rourke, Rice/Hayes (HOF), Richbourg/Maguire, Ruth/Gehrig (HOF), Summa/Dykes, Waner/Waner (HOF), Williams/Whitney; SGC GOOD+ 2.5 (1 card): Herman/Bancroft (HOF); SGC GOOD 2 (4 cards): Holloway/Averill (HOF), Manush/Schang (HOF), Metzler/Thomas, O'Doul/Friberg; SGC FAIR 1.5 (3 cards): Adams/Traynor (HOF), Benton/Ott (HOF), Herman/Bancroft (HOF); SGC PR 1 (1 card): Purdy/Pittengen.  A very appealing set, with each card boasting exceptional eye appeal, in a variety of colors.  32 cards total.
