1923-24 Exhibits (W461)

Between 1921 and 1928, seven distinct sets were released, each featuring subtle variations that enable collectors to distinguish between them, despite the fact that ESCO (Exhibit Supply Company of Chicago) did not include any year on the cards.

Number of Cards

This ESCO set features a total of 58 cards, including 3 players from the Cubs.

Size of Cards

The size of the cards are 3 3/8" x 5 3/8"

Basic Features

Monochrome player portraits characterize the 1923-24 Exhibit card set. While the athletes' names are presented in a cursive script, their team names appear in italicized block lettering. Beyond the team affiliation, each card lists the player's position and league. To ensure legibility, the text color shifts between black for lighter backgrounds and white for darker ones. Furthermore, these cards lack numbering.
