Lot # 958: 1939-1946 W462 Salutation Exhibits and 1947-1966 Exhibits Collection (130) Including 53 Hall of Famers

Presented is a substantial collection of 130 assorted Exhibits cards from two different series, spanning the years 1939 to 1966 and highlighted by 53 Hall of Famers, including Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, and Ted Williams.

In our opinion, Exhibits cards in general represent a particularly outstanding collecting value. This is a very attractive mixed-grade collection with great eye appeal and a strong "break value," if desired, because of the high concentration of Hall of Famers. Total: 130 cards.
