This is an extraordinary grouping of the famous Baseball Exhibit Cards that were produced between 1947 and 1966 and distributed nationally by vending machines and other outlets; this array of the 3 3/8-by-5 3/8-inch cards is uncommonly pristine, with sharp photography and clean backs. As noted, the condition is stunning, essentially Near-Mint to Near-Mint to Mint, with perhaps a couple Ex-Mt, with 10 of the key HOFers graded by PSA. Seems unlikely you could ever find these popular classics in better condition. The group is headlined by the legendary Hall of Famers of the period, including Mickey Mantle (2 examples – Portrait PSA 5 and Right Handed Batting PSA 6.5), Mays PSA 8, Koufax PSA 8, Clemente PSA 7, Ford (2, Portrait is graded PSA 8), Yastrzemski PSA 4.5, Kaline, Killebrew (2), Banks PSA 8, Berra PSA 5, Cepeda, Maris PSA 4, Mazeroski, Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Billy Williams and Santo. And the rest of the gang ain't too shabby, either: Alvis, Bob Aspromonte, Battey, Ken Boyer, Callison, Cash, Chance, Cheney, Coleman, Craig, Farrell, Francona, Gentile, Gonzalez, Hinton, Frank Howard, Jay, Kranepool, Kuenn, Landis (VG-Ex), Linz, Locke, Mahaffey, Malzone, Maris, Mazeroski, McBride, Moon, O’Dell, Pappas, Pascual, Pearson, Peters, Pinson, Richardson, Brooks Robinson, Floyd Robinson, Frank Robinson, Rojas, Siebern, Skowron, Thomas, Wagner, Ward and Wills.
1947-66 High-Grade Baseball Exhibits Group, 19 HOFers, Two Mantles, 10 PSA-Graded (64)
