Item Description
The Exhibit Supply Co. issued a set of 64 cards in 1927, each measuring 3-3/8x5-3/8". These cards were sold primarily at penny arcades via vending machines. The player's name and team appear in capital letters in one lower corner, while "Ex. Sup. Co., Chgo." And "Made in U.S.A." appear in the other. By far the two key cards issued for this highly sought after series are Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig (see next lot). The Babe was at the peak of his illustrious career in 1927, setting the all-time single season home run record up to that point in time with 60 and helping the Yankees to their second World Series championship. Ruth was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1936. The card was given the "MK" designation as there was once a small penciled number on the center of the blank card back, now leaving just a faint impression only seen upon magnification. Card is clean w/great eye appeal.
