Lot # 683: 1921 Exhibits Complete Set (64): #3 PSA Set Registry (5.36 GPA)

Presented is an extremely attractive complete set of 1921 Exhibits cards entirely graded and encapsulated by PSA. It ranks third on the current PSA Set Registry list with an overall GPA of 5.36. This set is especially noteworthy as 1921 was the very first year the legendary Exhibit Supply Company of Chicago issued cards. It would go on to issue sets for the next 50 years! These cards were sold by Exhibit card machines at amusement parks and penny arcades, one penny per card. The key card from the 1921 Exhibits set is the legendary Babe Ruth. This is one of Ruth's earliest cards featuring him with the Yankees. When this set was issued, it happened to be a great era for Hall of Famers. This set is loaded! The additional Hall of Famers featured in the set include Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, Walter Johnson, and Tris Speaker, plus 16 others. PSA Grading Composite: NM-MT+ 8.5 (1 card): Whitted (1 of 1 highest graded). NM 7 (5 cards): Grimes (HOF, 1 of 1 highest graded), Hollocher (highest graded), Lavan (1 of 1 highest graded; please note there is a crack on the holder, if sent in for a reholder we cannot guarantee the card will receive the same grade, therefore selling as-is), Rapp, and C.

Eleven of these cards are the highest graded examples in the PSA Population Report, and three cards represent the ONLY graded example! In addition to its great significance as the Exhibit Supply Company's first set, this set is extremely substantial, offers far rarer cards than many other sets from the era, and represents an extraordinary collecting value for quality cards from the 1920s. As a point of reference, the second ranked set on the current PSA Set Registry list has recently sold in July 2025 at public auction, realizing $70,150. Total: 64 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
