Lot # 855: 1947-1966 Exhibits Collection (586) Including Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson, and Hank Aaron

Extremely substantial collection of 586 cards (including a partial set of 176 different out of the 340 in the set as checklisted in The Standard Catalog) from the 1947-1966 Exhibit Supply Company set. Included in this collection are an impressive 138 Hall of Famers, including Hank Aaron (2), Mickey Mantle (2), Willie Mays, Yogi Berra (7), and Jackie Robinson (6). These unnumbered cards are not dated and were issued over a series of years, so they are generally collected as a single set. Some cards in this Exhibit card series were issued for numerous years, while other players were issued for only a short period of time, thus creating many rarities. Condition is 21% Ex to Ex-Mt, 58% Vg to Vg-Ex, and 21% lesser (including some due mostly to marks on the reverse).
