This
is a 1950s New York Yankees Yogi Berra Exhibit Card, made by Exhibit
Supply Company. The Vending cards could be purchased
from a vending machine for one cents back in the 50s.
this Yogi Berra card comes from a series printed between
1947-1966. Exhibit Supply Company also made, Movie
Stars, Sports stars, Music Stars, and Cowboy Exhibit
Cards. The front of the cards feature Facsimile
Autographs, and at the bottom of this card Reads
in white: "An Exhibit Card" and "Made in
USA" The cause of the frustration is that Exhibit
did not mark the cards with the year of
production. They did give a clue to dating
however, in that the post-war cards carried an
identifying mark. “MADE IN USA” (all caps) was used
from 1939 through 1950, “Made in USA” (upper and lower case) from 1951 through 1953, “PRINTED
IN USA” (all caps) from 1954-1956 and “Printed In
USA” (upper and lower case) after 1956. In the
years before 1951 the “MADE IN USA” varied in size
each year so that Exhibit fanatics can in fact close in
on the year of issue of each card.
The back of the cards are blank.
