Russian Tulle Blusher with Scattered Crystals Style V942 23 24
Cute Veil for Mod brides This veil was great for me. Just want I wanted. If you have short hair and a spunky personality, I highly recommend it. You will need to steam and shape it. I added some rhinestone bobby pins to keep things in place. November 12, 2013
Birdcage Veil I really liked my veil and I thought it was well made but the only problem I had with is was getting it to stay in my hair. I had to pin it and hairspray it quite a bit to get it to stay in and look right. It came in just a plastic package which caused it to be oddly shaped and I wonder if it would be better if it was in a packaged that shaped it to better fit a persons head. Anyway it was still beautiful and I would recommend it to a friend! July 6, 2013
Can't wait to wear! I received my blusher on time, and expected it to be flat-packed because of earlier reviews - which is natural as it was sent by post. Therefore I know that there will be no problem to shape it by steam etc. Looking very forward to wearing it, and I was also positively surprised by the scattered crystals and the quality of the comb. I think it will be great with my bridal gown :D The only thing I missed was a little instruction note for the use and care of the blusher along with material information. May 15, 2013
Classic and modern Loved this for my simple yet elegant wedding. My hair is short to this helped me to dress it up, I also added some flowers to it too. Oh and I loved the little crystals, they added just a little sparkle. I also found that blow drying this on low heat help to loosen it up after taking it out of the package. January 15, 2013

Interesting Exhibit Cards
Without a doubt the most important issuer of sports cards was the Chicago-based Exhibit Supply Company. Beginning with its inaugural issue of 1921 and continuing until about 1971 when its last cards were printed, the Exhibit Supply Company, or "ESCO" as its diamond-shaped logo said, was the unparalleled card manufacturer/chronicler of athletics.
ESCO began its foray into sports cards in 1921, but it by no means was even primarily a sports card maker. Indeed, the variety and number of issues by ESCO is rivaled only by the American Tobacco Company. Every conceivable legitimate subject of popular culture, from movie stars to athletes to strippers, were depicted on Exhibit cards. Over its 50-year history ESCO made cards of Mack Sennett Studio comedians, western stars, movie and television stars, athletes from every major sport, fighter jets, the Mercury astronauts, jokes, fortunes, Las Vegas showgirls and even Benito Mussolini (really), to name only a smattering of its subjects. We are not likely to ever know precisely how many different cards were issued by ESCO; we can make some rough assessments based on ESCO advertising from the period. ESCO advertised to arcade owners that it released a new set of cards every 60 days. Figuring 48 cards per issue (since 32 was minimum but there were many issues of 64 and 128 cards), six issues per year, for a 50 year period, ESCO is likely to have issued in excess of 14,000 cards.
The method of distribution of Exhibit cards was a unique product of the first half of the 20th century. Until the period after World War II, Americans did not have the incredible variety of home-delivered amusements that we enjoy today. Imagine a world without television, video, the Internet or other electronic in-home media. Only radio existed, and then not until the 1920's. When they wanted something to do, people left their homes for bars, movie theatres, boardwalks and arcades. ESCO manufactured amusement machines for those places: fortune tellers, prize machines, scales and so forth. Its major development, from our perspective, was the card dispensing machine. Exhibit cards were the first nationally distributed sports card product sold without any ancillary uses or purposes. The cards were not for advertising nor were they product premiums. They themselves were the product. A store or arcade owner purchased an ESCO vending machine and ESCO sold them refill products for the machines. ESCO made its real money on the refill orders, not on the machines. The cards were dispensed for a penny (later, a nickel or dime) to the patron of the store or arcade. ESCO sold refill cards direct to vendors, although in the 1960's the company did package its cards into celluloid wrappers for direct sales to consumers (the fact that the company was out of business only a few years after trying direct sales of card packs is proof of the effectiveness of the strategy). As you can imagine, the vending machines are themselves highly desirable collectible items and routinely sell for hundreds of dollars. The advertising pieces that went with the machines likewise sell briskly, especially when they depict sports stars.
I start our tour of these unique cards with several baseball related issues. I then move through various cards of interest with examples of many of the interesting sets in the various realms of Exhibit card collecting. I will periodically add new and interesting cards of all sports and nonsport subjects as they become available to me, so please check back regularly.
If you wish to contact me about cards you've seen in my albums, please sign the guestbook--your comments will be forwarded to me. I am always looking for collections to purchase.

1921 Exhibit Babe Ruth. This uncharacteristic fielding pose is one of my favorites from the innagural ESCO baseball issue.
Ca. 1931 or 1932 4 on 1 arcade card with postcard back. Dated based on O'Doul's October 14, 1930 trade to Brooklyn from Philly. Only a few known cards and only a few known examples of each.
1931-32 4 on 1 PC backed card with Gehrig, Cochrane, Grove. The key to this elusive issue. No one knows much about them. They used images from the earlier individual PC-backed sets. I have only seen a few different cards from the set.
Here is another. For more info and images please see my page dedicated to these cards.
Babe Ruth-Rogers Hornsby-Mickey Walker-Georges Carpentier
An earlier group of 4 on 1's are shown on this and the next four images. These are multisport, covering baseball and boxing, and there are also entertainment cards and entertainment-baseball mixed cards, and are drawn from images used in the 1925 issue of the postcard-backed Exhibit set.
Walter Johnson-Al Simmons-Gene Tunney-Benny Leonard
Eugene Criqui-Dave Shade-Joe Judge-Ty Cobb
Jack Dempsey-Rocky Kansas-Heinie Groh-Bucky Harris
Note the back: it has a "not to be used in exhibit machines" notation and a coupon, proving that this is indeed an ESCO issue.
Here is a blended subjects (baseball and entertainment) card. Note the two ink colors and the upside down printing.
Here is an uncatalogued (until now) 4 on 1 from the same batch that has rare baseball-boxing-entertainment mixed cards. It has Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, and two no-name actors. The Keaton image tends to narrow the date on the card issue. It is a still from a 1925 film called "Go West." Since the Cobb is shown with Detroit and drawn from the PC back set issued in 1925-1926, a 1925-1926 date is likely for the four on 1 issue as well.
Ty Cobb strip card made from the same art as the 4 on 1s
Original art for Sammy Bohne arcade card. Photograph and ink on board. Bohne ne Cohen was an early Jewish player from California. Bohne was traded to Brooklyn late in 1926 and was out of the majors by 1927, indicating that this image was created in 1925 or 1926.
Here is the actual card, purple ink variation. Note that the field of the card is smaller than the field of the image
Original art for the Speaker card. Note the whited out logo on the sleeve.
1928 PC backed Tris Speaker. Cobb and Speaker rigged a game in 1926. Judge Landis did not ban the men but their teams traded the aging stars. Speaker went to Washington for 1927 then on to the A's for 1928 where he joined Cobb in the outfield.
Original art for the Harry Heilmann card.
The card.
Original art for the first-run Waner card
There are three versions of Paul Waner's card in the PC-Backed issue. The first shows Waner batting.
ESCO cut away the background to produce this silhouette image of Waner batting.
The last of the PC-Backed Waner cards shows an unsmiling Waner in portrait. It is the most common of the three.
Gabby Hartnett, background removed variation. On 8 of the Postcard-backed baseball cards, the company cut away the background and kept the player silhouette. This is a prime example. Very tough to find in any condition.
Here is what it looks like with the background
ca. 1928 Rogers Hornsby. On 5 of the postcard-backed baseball cards, to reflect player trades the issuer pasted a label over the legend on the original art and ran new cards. Hornsby, Cobb, Rouch [sic], Frisch and Peckinpaugh have this rare variation. Hornsby was traded twice in three seasons because he was an obnoxious jerk.
The last of 3 Hornsby cards in the PC back set, this one is the most elusive.
I really liked the color on this Eppa Rixey card.
Ralph Pinelli in a tougher yellow with orange print variety.
Edd Roush PC backed card with correction label. They still managed to misspell both of his names!
ca. 1927-28 Ty Cobb. As noted in the correction label, Cobb finished his career with the A's in 1927-28.
ca. 1928-29 Babe Ruth. Definitely the best Ruth Exhibit pose. A classic Ruth pose that has found its way onto posters.
PC-backed Lou Gehrig batting. There are two versions of this card; one with the background removed and this one. The portrait card of Gehrig uses the image on card #3 above, as does the W517
ca. 1926 Walter Johnson. The greatest pitcher of all time.
ca. 1929 or 1930 Lefty O'Doul, dated by team designation (he was traded to the Phillies October 29, 1928 and to the Dodgers October 14, 1930).
One of the earliest cards of HOFer Jimmie [sic] Foxx, this PC backed card dates to about 1927-28.
Hack Wilson from the PC-Backed set. A moderately difficult one to locate.
Very rare Exhibit card of Tom Mix, western star, who had a semi-pro baseball team. I learned from one of Mix's biographers that the team was composed of movie folks and competed in a league of movie people that was organized for fun, not for charity or publicity.
This 8 image card from 1929 is part of a series of cinema star cards. In addition to Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey is depicted (both starred in lousy movies). Also comes in red print on a pink stock. The other subjects of the card are the cream of the ESCO subjects at the time: Chaplin, Jolson, Lindbergh, Mix, Lloyd and Fairbanks.
The 2nd most sought-after Exhibit 8 image movie star stamps card, an undated version with Lon Chaney as a vampire in London After Midnight.
Another Chaney card, not as sought after since he is not in make-up. Also has WC Fields and Eddie Cantor.
Another desirable card, this one depicting several of the Little Rascals.
This one features silent star Buster Keaton.
Very rare 1928 Pacific Coast League Exhibit of Hal Rhyne. PCL Exhibits are among the scarcest of Exhibit issues. Key cards in the 32-card set are Earl Averill and Jimmy Reese. Only a few sets are known.
Here is the 1928 PCL Exhibit Earl Averill. It is the key card in the set. I'd say it is one of the two or three most sought after Exhibit baseball cards.
1921 Exhibit of Earl "Greasy" Neale. Not many people realize that Mr. Neale is in the Hall of Fame. The Football Hall of Fame. Along with other former MLB players Ernie Nevers and Jim Thorpe.
Heinie Groh shows his famous bottle bat. One of my favorite images. 1921 Exhibit card. According to many collectors of the set this is one of the toughest 1921s to locate.
Ray Schalk's 1921 Exhibit card. The PC sized medium is a great way to view old players and equipment.
Perhaps my alltime favorite image from an Exhibit card. 1928 Frankie Frisch, the Fordham Flash.
1921 Dickie Kerr. One of the honest Black Sox, Kerr was the stopper of the series for the Sox. Look at his expression; I like to think it was in reaction to a question about his teammates' betrayal.
Another of my alltime favorite poses, Harry Heilmann on the 1922 card. This image is used in several other sets but it is best shown on the PC-sized Exhibit card.
1922 Exhibit Joe Wood. One of my favorite cards because of the history. Wood had two careers in baseball. In his first incarnation as Smoky Joe Wood, he had a few seasons as one of the finest pitchers in history. "Can I throw harder than Joe Wood? Listen, my friend, there's no man alive can throw harder than Smoky Joe Wood."---Walter Johnson. Wood blew out his arm, went back to the minors, and restructured his career as an outfielder. He is shown here on his only Exhibit card.
1922 Exhibit Ross Youngs [sic]. Considered one of his rookie cards, the ill-fated HOF outfielder died young and suddenly and was elected to the Hall on a waiver, like Addie Joss and Roberto Clemente.
1922 Eastern Exhibit Company Tris Speaker. The Eastern Exhibit Company was absorbed by the "regular" Exhibit Supply Company and put out only 1 set of cards.
1922 Eastern Exhibit Supply Dave Bancroft. There are two versions of each arcade card, one with the eastern company's Philadelphia address and one with the Philly address blocked out and replaced with the Chicago ESCO address.
1922 Exhibit Sammy Bohne. Another tough and popular card of the Jewish star.
1923 Gabby Hartnett. While reputed to be the toughest of the major league baseball series from the 1920s, in actuality the 1926 set is even more difficult.
1923 Joe Sewell
1923 Al Simmons. Considered Bucketfoot Al's rookie card.
1927 Grover Cleveland Alexander, towards the tail-end of his illustrious career.
Another of my alltime favorite cards. This Indian chief is none other than Jim Thorpe, making a living in the early 1930s in bad westerns playing...an Indian. A very rare PC-backed card from a set of movie stars issued approximately 1931. There is a set of strip cards, very rare, in the same style and with some of the same images. I can confirm Thorpe cards in all three sizes of the strip cards.
Here is the Exhibit Thorpe side by side with two of the three types of strip cards made with the same art, the large strip card (middle) and the tab-sized, left. The size not shown is the same height as the tab sized but a bit wider. The cards are to scale. The tab sized cards were issued with a lettered tab at the bottom that could be cut off for redemption (I suspect in an arcade or candy store). The other small strip cards came in vertically oriented strips. I am not sure of the orientation of the larger cards; I suspect vertical strips of 3 like W517.
Here is the Thorpe with tab intact.
This card shows cowboy actor William Desmond. The Indian chief on the left is Jim Thorpe. This is the second Thorpe pose from the set. The other Indian in the image went by the stage name "Chief Thunderbird" (real name Richard Davis Thunderbird). The card helps narrow down the issue date. Thorpe, Thunderbird and Desmond appeared together in the 1931 film "Battling With Buffalo Bill."
This Jack Dempsey card relates to Jack's movie career. Probably issued around the time of his 1920 serial "Daredevil Jack". I suspect that this card is Dempsey's true "rookie" card.
A very rare card of star Rudolph Valentino working out with pro boxer Gene Delmont and Jack Dempsey. There are a few candid type cards of stars and athletes together.
Another rarity, this one Tom Mix working out with boxer Newsboy Brown. Note the big Star of David on Brown's shorts; he is one of many Jewish boxers.
1931-32 Babe Ruth card from a set of movie-related Exhibit cards. One of the rarest Exhibit cards of Ruth and definitely one of the most desirable. He appeared in 5 films in 1932, all as himself.
Jack Dempsey looking dapper, probably from another movie set.
Shortly before his late 1926 fight with Jack Dempsey, light-heavyweight champ Gene Tunney went to Hollywood and filmed an atrocious western called "The Fighting Marine". A few Exhibit cards relating to the film were issued.
Jim Jeffries was the heavyweight champion until 1904, when he retired undefeated. He came out of retirement in 1910 and lost to Jack Johnson. He then settled in Burbank, California, near the film studios, and ran many businesses including a boxing venue. Jeffries Road in Burbank pays tribute to him. He played a ref in this Monte Blue vehicle.
1925 Benny Leonard in Flying Fist [sic; Fists]. Leonard made a serial in New York while at the height of his popularity.
There are numerous boxing-themed Exhibit movie cards--the trick is tracking down the names of the participants. When I saw the nose on this opponent I knew he had to be a real pug. I researched it and discovered that it is HOFer Ted "Kid" Lewis.
Another movie card featuring Kid Lewis.
1930s Victor McLaglen. Many people do not realize that McLaglen was a professional boxer who fought Jack Johnson in 1909 in a six-round exhibition match in Vancouver. His fight with fellow former pug John Wayne in "The Quiet Man" has quite a bit more grit and realism than most film fights of the era, which remind me of ladies swinging pocket books at each other.
1926 Red Grange in "One Minute To Play". The Galloping Ghost went Hollywood for a dreadful film about a collegiate footballer. There are a few cards known from the film including a nice action shot.
1926 Red Grange in "One Minute To Play" in-action shot. Grange is kicking.
1928 Exhibit Ray Miller, #1 lightweight contender. The only man who KO'd Jimmy McLarnin. Ray is my first cousin twice removed. Exhibit boxing cards from the 1920s generally have biographies, fight records and copyright dates on the backs. The next four show some of the variety available in the 1928 set.
This Dempsey card is from a set of world champions issued in 1923 or 1924. For many years it was misattributed to the 1932 World's Fair. I researched the subjects in the cards and it is clear that the set was from the mid 1920s, as many of the athletes were long retired or replaced as champions by 1932.
1923-4 Champions Anders Haugen. Another from this scarce and diverse series. Check out the skis; they look like 2 x 4 lumber!
1923-4 Champions Gene Sarazen. A very desirable early golfing card and 1 of only 2; the other is a 1948 Ben Hogan (Max Schmeling's card with his golf bag doesn't count).
1923-4 Champions Charlie Paddock. Called the fastest man in the world, he was the 100m champion at the 1920 Olympics and finished 2nd at the 1924 Olympics.
Edward O. Gourdin is a African/Native American (Seminole/Cherokee) and has one of the most remarkable backstories in sports. He is one of the first athletes of color on a sports card outside of boxing. He was a long jumper for Harvard University in the 1920s. After graduating he medaled in the 1924 Olympics, practiced law, was appointed as an Assistant US Attorney, commanded the 372nd (Colored) Infantry in WWII as a colonel, became only the second man of color appointed a full time judge in Massachusetts, and served as president of the United States Olympians Association.
In addition to being Tarzan in Hollywood, Johnny Weissmuller won 3 gold medals in the 1924 Olympics for swimming. This and a number of other cards in the series led me to the realization that the 1932 date on this set was dead wrong. So many of the athletes achieved fame in the 1924 Olympics and were long-gone to other professions by 1932.
Strangler Lewis.
Anyone have any idea who this guy was? None of the hockey afficionados I checked with could tell me a thing about him, yet he made it into the 1923-4 Exhibit Champions issue.
Yakima Canutt from a western issue, ca 1928. This issue is printed on two-sided stock and has different people on each side. Note the coupon at the bottom. kids could obtain premiums for the coupons. Many cards are found with corners lopped off as a result.
Here are both sides of a westerns doubleheader from the late 1920s.
Another really innovative 1920s issue, this western card and the next one have 4 portraits on one side and 4 action shots on the reverse. I wish they'd done these with baseball cards.
1920s 8 image western card. I'd not seen this format of card before acquiring the two depicted here at the National.
One of the first cut-apart game sets from ESCO, this copyrighted 1928 issue pictures the same western star four times on each card, presumably to be cut up for some kind of card game. I have seen numbers as high as 28 so I assume there were at least 32 issued.
One of the innovative designs for western cards from ESCO. With the start of the Great Depression ESCO began issuing cards that could be cut up for game playing. This 1929 series (dated on front) has instructions to cut out the "chips" for playing. Not a lot of these cards survived as a result.
Another of the thoroughly annoying "cut 'em up" issues from ESCO. This one was intended to be made into three ballplayers on stands. Rare card; I've only seen a few.
This and the next several are more from the cut-up series.
1929 Exhibit Tenderfoot Buzz Barton. This is an innovative, attractive, thoroughly maddening set to collect. There are 31 cards that look like this one and a header card with a picture of the "tenderfoot" [actually, an actor in a western; see next image for a film card using the same picture] and the rules. Basically, it was a matching game. 31 paired cards made by cutting apart tbe base cards and one oddball--the Tenderfoot--made by cutting down the header card. The one who gets stuck with the Tenderfoot lost. Needless to say, very few survive intact.
The original Tenderfoot movie image
1929 Exhibit Tenderfoot. Another example.
Tom Mix from a 1929 set devoted to him. Another innovative ESCO design for western cards.
Jack Holt from yet another ESCO innovative design, depicting famous Hollywood gunslingers as playing cards. There are also cards depicting a "hand" with multiple images.
Here is an example of the Western poker hand card. Cards are also known with actors in a "fan".
ESCO revived the playing card idea in the 1960s. Use of additional graphics was a way for ESCO to recycle older images. The Gary Cooper image shown here dates to roughly the High Noon period.
1961 Wrigley Field Exhibit Babe Ruth. ESCO was headquartered in Chicago. I am surprised it took 40 years for them to think of a promo with the Cubs.
1961 Wrigley Field Cobb. The set consists of 24 alltime greats, sometimes found with postcard backs, sometimes with blank backs. They are pretty tough to find given that they were ballpark premiums.
1961 Wrigley Field Honus Wagner. By 1961 with the rise of TV and decline of amusement arcades, ESCO was in serious trouble. I suppose the baseball promo link was an effort to expand a dying business.
1961 Wrigley Field Gehrig.
1961 Wrigley Field Walter Johnson
Exhibit Salutations Ted Williams #9 shows. Beginning in 1939 ESCO issued a series of cards depicting ballplayers with nice "salutations" on the front (sincerely, best wishes, etc.; I suppose nowadays they's say stuff like "no comment" or "I didn't know it was a steroid"). This Williams is one of the short printed cards and is a set key.
Salutations DiMaggio. Nominally given a date of 1939-47, in reality some of the Salutations cards were issued for only a year or two, some were issued into the 50s or even 60s. Joe D's card was one that was issued into the early 1950s and is easier to find than most other cards.
Jimmy Foxx played just long enough to merit inclusion in the set's early versions. Given the relative scarcity of the card, I suspect it ran for 3 or 4 years. One of my favorite poses of the man they called The Beast.
HOFer Charlie Gehringer is one of the toughest short prints, probably issued no more than a year or two. Given the spillover into the 50s and 60s, I hesitate to call the Salutations a separate set from the 1947-66 grouping. It makes more sense to treat them as series, as in the case of T206's different printings.
One of the two Hank Greenberg Salutations cards.
Here is the short print Greenberg
"King" Carl Hubbell has a nice Salutation card. It falls in the middle of the pack in terms of rarity, again probably issued for a few years.
HOF shortstop Arky Vaughan is one of the shorter prints in the Salutations cards.
Print variations over the years created some scarcities over minute differences. This Bill Dickey and the next one have "MADE IN U.S.A." at different bottom corners.
This Saluations Dickey has the inscription at the lower right.
1954 Canadian Exhibit Walter Alston. The 1950s Canada-only Exhibit issues use color and often depict players from the minor league teams in Canada. The Dodgers had a minor league team in Montreal that Alston managed before going to Brooklyn.
Major league cards were also issued in the early 1950s Canada, using artwork from the postwar sets. The Musial here shows one format similar to the minor league cards.
Canadian Monte Irvin. Cards 1-32 can be found in green or red and have numbers in a diamond; 33-64 are blue or red and have free-floating numbers.
1948-52 Canadian "Exhibit" Maurice Richard. "Rocket" Richard, the 1st man to score 50 goals in a season, is the key to the set. There are 2 card of him, one with the stairs in the background, one without. I say "Exhibit" because ESCO did not issue these cards; they were copy cat arcade cards.
1948-52 Canadian Exhibit Maurice Richard, no stairs variation. I spoke with several Canadian hockey card dealers at the 2005 National who told me that this set is very scarce. I found only three cards for sale there from this set.
1948-52 Canadian Exhibit Doug Harvey. A HOF defenseman for the Habs and then the Rangers, Harvey was considered the greatest of all until Bobby Orr came along.
"Boum Boum" Geffrion. I guess that is how they spell it in Quebec?
OK, I had to add this one. Julie Newmar, the ONLY Catwoman for me, in a late 50s Exhibit pin-up issue. I was able to secure her autograph on the card. What gams!
Late 1950s Marilyn Monroe, from a series of cheesecake Hollywood actresses. Schwingg!
Betty Grable in the most famous pin-up shot of WWII. Schwingg!
1940s-1950s Groucho Marx, from a series of television and radio stars. Some of his best lines: I sent the club a wire stating, PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT ME AS A MEMBER; Go, and never darken my towels again; I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception; I've had a perfectly wonderful evening--but this wasn't it; A man's only as old as the woman he feels; Do you suppose I could buy back my introduction to you?; Here's to our wives and girlfriends...may they never meet!; Marriage is a wonderful institution...but who wants to live in an institution?; Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies.
1926 Exhibit Four Marks [sic] Brothers. This is the only Marx Brothers exhibit card I have ever seen. It is from a rare set of theatrical cards. The card mentions their stage work but not their films because they had not yet made a film. The Cocoanuts was their new play on Broadway and would not be filmed until after the silent film era ended. Why ESCO did not make more Marx Brothers cards is beyond me; I would love to see cards of them in their big films.
1926 theatrical issue Willie Howard.
1926 theatrical issue W.C. Fields.
1926 theatrical issue Eddie Cantor.
Lucy and Desi. They don't need last names. This is the most desirable of the Lucy Exhibit cards, though not the toughest Lucy card to find, because it is the only one of them together. I do not know of a solo Desi card.
The earliest of Lucy's cards, from her ingenue days before she and Desi made history.
One of Lucy's portrait cards. She is likely the post-war star featured in the largest number of different Exhibit series. The following are some more of her cards.
More Lucy
This one I believe dates to around the time of her pregnancy.
This is a rare Exhibit original art piece from an early Lucy card. One of a kind, with production notes on the back.
Sean Connery, about the time Dr. No was made. There are two Exhibit Connery cards.
Here is the other known Connery card. I'd say around the time of Thunderball.
The Bonanza crew, minus Pernell Roberts (Adam Cartwright), who left the show early on and is a short-printed card. From L to R: Dan Blocker (Hoss), Lorne Greene (Ben) and Michael Landon (Joe).
Here is the short printed Roberts. He played Adam Cartwright from 1959-1965.
A rare unopened pack of Exhibits from the 1960s. As part of its last gasp ESCO tried to sell cards in packs. They were not successful.
Another example of the rare packs from the early 1960s, this one with Lee Marvin on the front.
Buster Keaton in Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928). Keaton and Chaplin were the two biggest comedic actors in the 20s. This film was parodied in "Steamboat Willie", a cartoon that featured a new character, Mickey Mouse.
Charlie Chaplin in his most famous role, the tramp, in his most famous silent film, The Goldrush (1925).
As one of the biggest stars of the silent era, Chaplin was fodder for many Exhibit cards.
Here is a neat behind-the-scenes image of Chaplin at the directorial helm for one of his mid-1920s films.
Portraits of Chaplin without his makeup are tougher to find on Exhibits than are his images in character. Based on color and typeface, I'd say this one dates to the 1926-1928 period
An early Chaplin card, ca 1920.
The classic Little Tramp portrait of Chaplin, ca 1928
Another film comedic great, Harold Lloyd. His most famous role found him swinging from a ledge and the hands of a clock 9 stories above downtown Los Angeles.
Before he became the strong, silent archetypal hero, Gary Cooper starred in a number of silent westerns. This card is the earliest ESCO Cooper card I have found (1927).
The tubby sheriff in this scene is noneother than Oliver Hardy, pre Stan Laurel.
Another Hardy card
Another, very difficult to find, Hardy card.
This is the first (and only so far) Laurel and Hardy Exhibit card. it comes from their very popular 1933 film Busy Bodies.
Gary Cooper from the ca. 1930 PC backed movie set.
Maurice Chevalier from the ca. 1930 PC backed set. When asked how it felt to turn 80, Chevalier said: "considering the alternative..."
Tom Mix from the ca. 1930 PC backed set. These cards are really hard to find. I acquired all but two from the same seller, who had picked up an old collection at an estate sale.
Ted Wells from the ca. 1930 PC backed set.
Jack Holt from the ca. 1930 PC backed set. His son Tim was a well known character actor whose best role was in "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" opposite Bogart and Walter Huston
Elmer Goodfellow Brendle had a four-decade career as a character actor in movies and television. The ex vaudevillain used a Swedish accent for comedic effect. I have to admit, I thought he was a Hispanic star given the name on the card.
Buck Jones from the ca. 1930 PC backed set.
Here is the same Buck Jones image on a strip card that is about 1/4 the size of the PC backed card. W517 also has a rarer "mini" version that is closer in size to a standard strip card. Interesting how some of the PC backed baseball images show up as W517 and W517 minis and how some of the PC backed entertainers show up as strip minis. Now if only we had an intermediate sized card like W517 for the entertainment cards...
We do. This William Haines strip card is about 1/3 bigger than the preceding Buck Jones card.
A while ago I acquired about 20 of these cards in a smaller format. I assumed they were trimmed. Turns out, they were issued differently. The narrower cards were issued singly with tabs at the bottoms. This Lew Ayres card shows the tab version on the left and the strip version on the right. As you can see, the strip version is wider.
Victor McLaglen strip card.
Joe E. Brown strip card. Brown reputedly said "A friend in need is a pest".
A 4 on 1 PC backed entertainment card. Appears to be the same issuer as a set of strip cards as well as the PC backed baseball and boxing sets.
Tom Mix from the PC-backed issue. The back of the card is identical right down to the printing flaws with what is found on some of the PC back baseball cards as well as the Blue Boxers.
Another PC backed Mix, this time in green
Here is one of the strip cards from the same images as the 4 on 1 just shown. Tom Mix boxing. It is about 1/4 the size of the 4 on 1. The cards came in vertically-oriented strips of 10.
1922 Eric Von Stroheim. In 1921 and 1922 ESCO issued movie cards with the same format as their baseball cards from those years. While "von" was used to designate German aristocracy, in reality von Stroheim was an Austrian Jew.
1922 Gloria Swanson. Couldn't resist adding her in beside Von Stroheim given their "Sunset Boulevard" connection. "I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille!" The top stars of the era made $10,000 a week before the income tax existed.
Rudolph Valentino. A mega star in early Hollywood, Valentino had a number of ESCO cards. The Hollywood PCL baseball team was named the Sheiks in honor of his most famous role. He died on August 23, 1926. This card shows him in his next to last role as Count Rodrigo Torriani in the 1925 film "Cobra" (not to be confused with the Sylvester Stallone film of the same name; oh, if only Sly had been silent in that one...).
1920 Sessue Hayakawa. What a life this guy lived. He became the 1st Asian cinema star in the US with a scorching performance as the owner of a white sex slave in a lurid silent film (his branding her is the highlight), lost his career more or less and went overseas due to sound, and came back to be nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actor in 1957 as Col. Saito in Bridge On The River Kwai.
1920 Fatty Arbuckle. In addition to being a movie star, Fatty owned a piece of the Vernon team in the PCL. Probably issued ca. 1920; his career was destroyed in 1921 by a sex scandal.
1929 Our Gang card. The Hal Roach Studios children (if you were born after WWII, you know them from TV as the Little Rascals) had a nice series of tri-image cards from 1920. One of the tougher cinema issues.
Horror ace Boris Karloff. His Exhibit cards are tough to find and sell for around $50 when they surface, which is rarely.
ESCO attempted to capitalize on the Mercury program's popularity with a series of cards of the astronauts, their equipment and some NASA conceptual drawings. Here is Alan Shepard, the first American to go up there.
Noted aviator and anti-Semite Charles Lindbergh was the subject of a card issue of his own after his solo flight across the Atlantic.
Exhibit cards are great vehicles for autographs by virtue of their large size. Here is Billy Conn, former lightheavyweight champion.
Willie Pep autographed this late 1940s issue. Unfortunately, since the last Exhibit set originated in the early 60s, there are relatively few living boxers on the cards available to chase for autographs. Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Jake LaMotta and Gene Fullmer are the only ones still alive who come readily to mind, but there were many who lived while Exhibits were made and who signed them, so they can be found on the secondary market.
Talk about rare! Tony Canzoneri, who died in 1959, signed this Blue Boxers card.
Beau Jack was a title holder in the 1940s. He came up from the deep South the hard way, fighting Battle Royales where several young black fighters would be put into the ring together and the last one standing won. In later life he went back to shining shoes in Miami to make a living, where he was discovered and then became a fixture on the autograph circuit before he died.
Floyd Patterson signed inscribed Exhibit card. One of the nicest ex-champs ever, Patterson was a very accommodating signer.
Another Patterson.
I got Hammerin' Hank at a show and saved the ticket.
Luke Appling was one of my favorite autograph guests ever. A very gregarious man, when I handed him this card he told about what a misery those uniforms were. Seems they were made of black wool and would absorb and hold a ton of sweat, making for truly miserable double-headers.
I got this Lou Boudreau at a show in the early 1990s when he was the "door buster" free autograph.
Table of Comparisons, Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney. ESCO issued a small series of these cards comparing heavyweight rivals Dempsey, Tunney, and Wills. Not that hard to find but very desireable cards. One or the other of the vital stats is incorrect; Dempsey was born in 1895, Tunney in 1897. If I had to bet, I would guess that Tunney's age was incorrectly stated at the time the art was created; in 1925 he would have been 28 and Dempsey would have been 30.
Primo Carnera. In the late 20s and early 30s ESCO issued a series of cards depicting the main heavyweight contenders of the day in a variety of images. Oddball images like this one or the Schmeling with golf gear are prized. "Satchel Feet" was one of the worst fighters to become champion and was demolished by Max Baer in a title defense, being knocked down 11 times until finally KOd.
Carnera from the heavyweights series with the corner clipped, indicating a backside coupon was removed. He later wrestled professionally and owned a liquor store in Glendale, California. His mobbed-up career was source material for the 1956 film "The Harder They Fall".
Max Schmeling with golf bag. Schmeling recently passed away, the last of the heavyweight champions of the 1930s to die. A controversial personality because of his German nationality in the 1930s (while not a Nazi supporter, he found it convenient to let them use him for propaganda), Max was a robust man into his 90s. Consequently, Schmeling autographs are pretty easy to find.
Harry Wills was signed to fight Dempsey for the heavyweight title in 1924. The racist outcry over letting a black man have a shot at the crown led Jack Kearns (Dempsey's manager) to call off the fight. Dempsey lost his New York boxing license as a result. Wills' cards in the heavyweight series are the hardest to find. I suspect he was removed from the issue relatively quickly. The typeface used on the card is similar to that of the 1926 baseball issue.
An uncut sheet of Exhibit cards ca. 1960 or 1961 at the earliest (Rocky Colavito is shown with Detroit, where he went after the 1959 season in a trade for Harvey Kueen). Next to Rocky is Ted Williams' Salutations card that supposedly was printed from 1939-47. As I said earlier, it is misleading to consider the postwar ESCO issues as distinct sets; the Salutations can cross over into the later cards.
1921 Exhibit John L. Sullivan. The Great John L was the first great American world heavyweight champion. He would often enter a saloon and proclaim that he could lick any SOB in the place, and make good on the promise. A notorious partier in his youth, the old Sullivan became a crusader for temperance. Why ESCO chose to show him as an old, fat man is beyond me.
1921 Exhibit Jim Corbett. Gentleman Jim was the first winner of a gloved championship, defeating John L. Sullivan for the title. The 1921 set is the only "historical" set ESCO issued of boxers. From its boxing cards it is possible to find every heavyweight champ from Sullivan to Dempsey.
1921 Bob Fitzsimmons. Ruby Robert defeated Corbett and held the middleweight and heavyweight championships at the same time.
1921 Exhibit Jim Jeffries. Jeffries defeated Fitszimmons and held the title until he retired in 1904. His July 4, 1910 comeback defeat at the hands of Jack Johnson touched off widespread race riots.
1921 Exhibit Jack Johnson. The first black heavyweight champion, his thrashing defeat of Jim Jeffries gave rise to the term "great white hope"
1921 Jess Willard. The mountainous Kansan who defeated Jack Johnson and was in turn demolished in three rounds by Jack Dempsey, who broke Willard's jaw, knocked out a bunch of his teeth and generally beat the hell out of the much bigger man.
1921 Exhibit Jack Dempsey. The then-reigning heavyweight champ, this card may be predated by the film card shown above.
This advertising header for an ESCO machine solves one of the mysteries of Exhibit boxing card collecting. ESCO issued cards in sheets of 32. The 1921 set, which this card advertises, has 58 known boxers. Where are the other 6 has long bedeviled collectors. This broadside answers the question: the other 6 are wrestlers! Note the header is printed on scrap stock--its back is a partial sheet of postcard back art.
This rare 9-card boxing header from a 1930s machine features cards from multiple types of issues.
A salesman sample card sent to potential vendors. This one touts the 1927 baseball set.
On the left is a PC-backed Cowgirls card. On the right is a salesman sample card from the same issue.
1921 Exhibit Benny Leonard. Considered one of the greatest lightweights of all time, he held the title for seven years. Leonard was a product of the Lower East Side of New York and changed his name from Leiner so that his mother would not find out he was fighting.
1922 Gene Tunney. The true "rookie" card of the lightheavyweight and future heavyweight champion.
1925 Exhibit Jack Dempsey, horizontal pose. There are four known poses in the 1925 Exhibit set for Dempsey.
1925 Exhibit Dempsey seated pose. The image is from a theatrical still (note the greasepaint make-up) and can be found in blank-backed format as part of a movie set as well as with the record back and 1925 copyright.
1925 PC backed Dempsey. The issuer of the PC backed baseball set issued a series of boxing cards in 1925 with 1924 records on their backs. The series was revised and reissued with recordless backs in 1926 through the late 20s in multiple colors. Collectively, the group is called the "Blue Boxers" after one of the most distinct card colors.
2nd Blue Boxer type Dempsey. Two boxers have two cards in the set: Dempsey and Tunney. The 2nd cards reflect Tunney's late 1926 victory over Dempsey. As a consequence of the manner in which the Blue Boxers were issued, there are considerable short prints.
1925 PC back Dempsey without record back. This pose is found with the record back and with the PC only back. Given the new pose with the ex champ notation on the front, it appears that the Blue Boxers were issued in 1925 in the original record back format with 1924 record, reissued in 1926 with the PC backs, and modified thereafter with at least two new poses.
1925 PC record backed Benny Leonard. The toughest Exhibit Leonard card.
Blue Boxers Jack Britton. The next several images show some of the colors of Blue Boxers from the ca. 1926 and later printings of the set.
Orange stock Joe Burman Blue Boxer
Blue Boxers Jack Britton
Blue Boxers Carl Tremaine. As you can see, some colors worked better with some images than others.
Red stock Johnny Dundee Blue Boxer
Blue Boxers Jess Willard
Blue Boxers Luis Firpo
Pink stock Dave Shade Blue Boxer
Grey stock with blue ink Eddie Fitzsimmon. This card and the next two depict the most difficult color combos to find. I suspect that they were printed first among the colored issue and quickly replaced
Blue Boxers Tommy Loughran sepia. One of the toughest colors to acquire.
Blue Boxers Leo Lomski light blue tone. Another very tough color.
Yellow stock Lew Tendler Blue Boxer. I had considered trying a master set, but the numbers are potentially into the hundreds of cards. Here are several Lew Tendler cards.
Black and white Lew Tendler with record on back
Lew Tendler.
Blue Boxers Lew Tendler
Blue Boxers Archie Bell. Here is a nice run of the blue tinted cards.
Blue Boxers Tony Canzoneri
Blue Boxers Eugene Criqui
Blue Boxers Jimmy Delaney
Blue Boxers Tom Heeney
Blue Boxers Sammy Mandell
Blue Boxers Dave Rosenberg
Blue Boxers Jack Sharkey
Blue Boxers Bud Taylor
Blue Boxers Paolino Uzcudun
Blue Boxers Charlie White
1925 record backed Abe Attell Goldstein. The next few images depict some of the short prints in the set.
1925 Sailor Friedman
1925 Nate Goldman
1925 Rocky Kansas
1928 Exhibit Louis Kid Kaplan. The 1928 set is the largest of the sets, with over 140 known subjects. Nicknamed the Meriden Buzzsaw, Kaplan was a Russian-Jewish immigrant. He retired when he had trouble making weight, after turning down an offer to rig a fight for big money. As he moved up in weight class, he was denied a title shot out of fear of his ability.
1928 Exhibit Ruby Goldstein. Goldstein, a Benny Leonard protege, was a tremendous fighter who had a glass chin, and was later a well known referee. He was officiating when Benny "Kid" Paret was beaten to death by Emile Griffith on national tv in a 1962 fight. Paret had called Griffith a homosexual [actually, he used an extremely denigrating Spanish slang term] because Griffith was a florist who hung out in gay bars. Ironically, and sadly, Griffith was very badly beaten in New York a few years ago while coming out of a gay bar. The story of the fight and its impact on the fighters and their families was the subject of a recent documentary film.
Kid Chocolate, real name Eligio Sardinas, was a top fighter out of Cuba. This card, from the 1928 set, is very popular and rather hard to find.
1948 Exhibit Champions Jack Dempsey. Along with Joe Louis, Dempsey is one of 2 boxers in this popular multi-sport set.
1948 Champions Bobby Riggs. Two decades before he became the poster-boy for male chauvanism, Bobby Riggs was a champion tennis player. He was also a heavy gambler and raconteur, which is how the whole Billie Jean King match came into being.
1940s-50s Jake LaMotta. The Salutations format was used by ESCO in a number of different personality sets. LaMotta's story is well known from the movie "Raging Bull" and he is a popular autograph guest.
1950s Exhibit Rocky Marciano. The Rock is the only undefeated heavyweight champ, retiring in early 1956 with a perfect record. A friend of his, fighter Sammy Luftspring, claims that Rocky (a notorious cheapskate) retired in part because he was incensed over being cheated by their co-manager.
This Bill Terry card is from a large-format strip set called W517 and commonly dated as a 1931 issue. I put it here because this set uses many of the same images as are used in the PC-backed exhibit set, without the circular card number. This raises the intriguing possibility that the same company made the PC set, W517, the ca. 1930 entertainment cards shown above and at least two strip sets that appear to be directly derived from the entertainment cards.
Here is the original art for the Terry card. Photograph and ink on board. The small circular stain in the dirt appears to be where the #23 sticker appears in the finished card. It appears that the sticker fell off over time. Although this item was sold to me as a PC backed Exhibit image, it is clearly a W517. Sometimes the obvious smacks you in the face and you still miss it. The legend on the PC Back Exhibits and the W517 is handwritten by the same person.
ca. 1929 Fancy Script Bennie Bass. The Fancy Script issue is a small set named for its ornate legend. The cards are PC backed and dated based on the known subjects.
Fancy Script Bennie Bass color variation. Black and White is the most encountered color but there are some colored variations as well.
Fancy Script Primo Carnera. One of the earliest Carnera cards.
Fancy Script Max Schmeling. One of the earliest Schmeling cards, but not the earliest. Schmeling has a card in the 1928 Exhibit set and the 1927 York Caramel (E211) set.
Fancy Script Al Singer, red tone. Dig those groovy trunks, man!
fancy Script Mickey Walker sepia tone. First one of these I've seen in a sepia tone. Came from a new to the hobby find of PC backed exhibits which included multiple sepia and light blue cards.
Dempsey v. Tunney II. In order to capitalize on the popularity of the Dempsey v. Tunney fights, ESCO issued a set devoted to the 2nd battle, the Long Count fight that took place in Chicago in 1927.
The Long Count resulted from a rule change that Dempsey caused. Under old rules a fighter could hover over a downed opponent and hammer him the moment he stood up. Dempsey was notorious for this. As a result, the rules were changed to require a fighter to go to neutral corner in the event of a knock down.
Dempsey downed Tunney and forgot the rule, resulting in the ref not starting the ten count until Dempsey went to the neutral corner.
Tunney received at least 14 seconds to recover from the knockdown.
He got back up and resumed fighting. It is unclear whether he was hurt enough by the knockdown to have needed the extra time, but it certainly helped him.
Tunney, whose slashing, scientific style was tailored specifically to defeat Dempsey, resumed the fight and beat Dempsey for a second time to retain the title.
The Rat Pack had some nice Exhibit cards. Here is Sammy Davis Jr.
How did all these people get in my room? Dino's Exhibit card.
The Chairman of the Board had at least three Exhibit cards that I know of.
The great Louis Prima. When Sinatra and the rest of the boys finished at the Sands they would head for Prima's show. Easily the coolest show in Las Vegas history.
Keely Smith, Louis Prima's wife and lead singer.
Harry Belafonte. Day-O!
The greatest voice in the history of Jazz, Ella Fitzgerald.
ESCO issued a number of series of cards devoted to pop stars in the 1960s in conjunction with Billboard, which provided the write-ups for the card backs. Here are the Animals.
The Beach Boys
The Fab Four.
The Prefab Four
The Rolling Stones in their mop-head stage.
Chuck Connors played baseball for the Brooklyn Dodgers, basketball for the Boston Celtics, but was best known as Lucas McCain, "The Rifleman". He was a big, rangy 6'7" and a very fun autograph guest at card shows.
Connors as The Rifleman. This card is from a series of western cards made by Nu-Card in the early 1960s. They were sold in packs and are frequently mistaken for Exhibit cards because they are the same size and in a similar format.
Connors and Johnny Crawford, the boy who played his son on the Rifleman.
Here is ESCO's worst marketing decision, one of the unbelievably scarce Mussolini cards. ESCO put out a series of cards on the notorious fascist thug-dictator of Italy ca. 1927-28. Imagine Topps putting out a set of cards of Saddam Hussein in the 1990s and you have some idea of what this card means historically. I suspect that nearly all of these would have been destroyed duing WW II.
I could not believe this 1930s wrestling card when I saw it. While nationalities and home towns were frequent designations on card fronts, I have never seen a religious designation on a card front except on this card.
1930s Jim Londos. Wrestling as both legitimate sport and scripted spectacle was a popular subject of ESCO sport issues from their inception to the end. This card of legitimate wrestler Jim Londos comes from a very tough 1930s issue, rarely seen, that surfaced on ebay in July 2005 from an old family collection, along with some boxers from the same era.
1930s Bronko Nagurski. From a wrestling issue, he is best known as a HOF football player. Also had a couple of football cards in the 1930s and wrestling cards in the 1950s from Parkhurst.
Larry "Buster" Crabbe won Olympic gold in the 1932 Los Angeles games and went on to star in various westerns and B serials, notably the Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers series.
Here is a tough pose of heavyweight Buddy Baer. I had not ever seen this pose before July 2005 when I picked it up at the National. Ironically, a week later one more surfaced on ebay from an old family collection being broken by heirs. I've seen it a handful of additional times.
This Andy Martin is from a 1928 style subgroup of blue print cards with blank backs. I'd seen one or two before a nice group surfaced on Ebay. Some new additions to the checklist for 1928, some already known.
The first few years of baseball 4 on 1 issues were multi-colored. The next few cards are examples of the range of colors used.
Red with black print wasn't a really good choice.
I like the orange ones. Tough color to find.
This yellow card is printed on two-sided color stock. Very unusual for a baseball exhibit, which is why I bought it.
Bogart, from the 1940s. This is the scarcer of the two Bogart salutations exhibits.
Paul Henried. One enjoyable and challenging way to collect Exhibit entertainment cards is to try and assemble "teams" of casts of famous films. We have Bogie, Henreid and Rains next. Anyone want to guess what film?
Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?
Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
[a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]
Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.
Captain Renault: Everybody out at once!
1926-29 PC Back Lefty Grove. Considered to be one of Grove's rookie cards, though not his first card (he had a minor league card).
1950s Hank Sauer with Mutoscope back.
Three varieties of Larry Doby. No "An Exhibit Card"; "An Exhibit Card"; and scratched out "An Exhibit Card"
Look at the lower edge.
Salutations Tommy Holmes variations
This is not an Exhibit card. It is an arcade card from a rival issuer. There are several known cards of this format, all movie star cards from the era. They are very hard to find. A few have turned up in recent years in large, new to the hobby, groups of cards offered for sale. I will post a few more examples.
Haven't quite pinned down the ID on this buckaroo, but it is from the same issue as the Ruth/Snookums card.
Buzzy Barton (the kid) and two other hombres from the non-Exhibit issue.
Hoot Gibson from the Ruth-Snookums issue.
Fatty Arbuckle virtual Exhibit card. Since certain people never got to be on Exhibit cards, I used a photograph editing program to make a few "what if" cards. Arbuckle's image comes from his famous and very rare Zeenut.
Joe Choynski virtual Exhibit card. Chrysanthemum Joe was not part of the 1921 Exhibit set and I think he deserves a card.
Benny Kauff virtual Exhibit card. Known as the "Ty Cobb of the Federal League", Kauff led the league in hitting both years it operated. He was later banned from baseball by Judge Landis for organized crime ties through his brother.
Mickey Cohen virtual Exhibit card. Prior to beginning his "career" as head of organized crime in Los Angeles, Mickey Cohen was a middling quality professional boxer, fighting as a bantamweight and featherweight. He doesn't have an Exhibit card. His record was 60 wins, 25 defeats, 6 draws and 11 no decisions. He fought two world champions, getting knocked out each time.
Buck Weaver virtual Exhibit card. Unlucky Buck was the only Black Sox player unjustly kicked out of baseball. Unlike the others, he never agreed to throw a game, never took money, and had a stellar series. Landis decided to ban him for sitting in on the meetings where the fix was discussed and not reporting it to his team.
Bill Bojangles Robinson. Tough card to find.
Autographed 1977 Exhibit Hank Greenberg. The reconstituted company made an extensive series of reprints and new prints using the Baseball's Great Hall of Fame theme in 1977.
1925 Exhibit sideshow series card of Zip the pinhead. Very tough series with some truly disturbing sideshow acts in it.
Real name Elly Annie Schneider, she was one of 4 tiny performers who billed themselves as the Earles and as the Dolls. She had roles in "Freaks" and "The Wizard of Oz" as a munchkin.
1960s Cassius Clay, first printing (green) variety
1925 Rodeo Yakima Canutt. A champion rodeo rider, Canutt is the "patron saint" of Hollywood stuntmen.
original art for Randolph Scott Exhibit card.
The corresponding card. This one is the ESCO file copy bearing a numbered stamp on the back that corresponds to the numbered stamp on the back of the artwork.
Peter Lawford original art.
The corresponding Peter Lawford card with ESCO file number stamped on back.
1954 Canadian Exhibit Walter Alston. The 1953-1954 Canada-only Exhibit issues use color and depict players from the minor league AAA Montreal Dodgers farm team in Canada including HOFers Walter Alston and Tommy Lasorda.
Major league cards were also issued in the 1953 Canada set, using artwork from the postwar sets. The Musial here shows one format similar to the minor league cards.
Cards 1-32 can be found in green or red and have numbers in a diamond; 33-64 are blue or red and have free-floating numbers.
1927 advertising/sample card.
Back of 1925 sample card with advertising
Checklist card for the 1951 print run.
Copyright filing card for 1929 Tenderfoot series, front
Copyright card for 1929 Tenderfoot series, back.
1950s Willie Mays production piece or proof
close up
side by side of Mays production piece/proof and regular issue card
1927 Rixey with stamped back coupon
Ted Sandwina's real name was Theodore Brumbach. He was the son of Katie Brumbach, a circus strongwoman who took the stage name Sandwina in honor of defeating strongman Eugene Sandow in a weightlifting contest in which she lifted a weight of 300 pounds over her head, which Sandow only managed to lift to his chest. Ted was strong but not skilled enough to become heavyweight champ.
Two cards of football great Red Grange in his Hollywood days
Another Grange. Tough as the others are this is the rarest of them all--a handfull of known examples.
One of the earliest if not the earliest Laurel & Hardy cards.
Uncut sheet of Exhibit movie stars from the 1960s.
1925 Jeff Smith; 2013 IBHOF inductee
In retrospect, the company's decision to make Mussolini the subject of a 16-card set was not a good idea...
Needless to say, the cards are quite difficult to find today. I assume that the vast majority were destroyed during WWII.
A very tough 4 on 1 Exhibit card from the 1920s with the Our Gang Little Rascals and Rin Tin Tin. How perfect is that?

Did you know that it is illegal Wisconsin Statute 459-02) to sell a hearing aid in the State of Wisconsin without a hearing evaluation first? Unfortunately, many consumers are led to believe by direct mail, magazine and Internet advertisements, that mail order hearing aids are perfectly legal, safe and economical.
Here's what one website tells you to do:
Need Help Choosing the Correct Hearing Aids for You?
Send us your Audiogram and we will contact you to discuss which Hearing Aid is best for you.
The mere fact that they're asking a potential patient to submit their own Audiogram tells you that they are not professional dispensers. Every ear is unique and a one-size-fits some approach is not the appropriate method of determining a proper match .
Often the Federal Waiver of Medical Evaluation is rewritten by these mail order companies to include the waiver of a hearing evaluation as well, making it appear to be okay in the consumers eyes. It is really illegal and unethical. Laws regulating the sale of hearing instruments are put into place to protect the consumer.
There are many reasons why one should have a hearing evaluation and ear exam by a Hearing Instrument Specialist of Audiologist :
- To see if earwax is the reason for a hearing loss.
- To determine whether or not there is hearing loss.
- If there is a hearing loss, to find out what type of hearing loss it is.
- To determine if there is some underlying medical condition causing the hearing loss. Like fluid behind the eardrum, infection, otosclerosis, and tumors. If any of these go undetected it could be life threatening.
- To determine what the amplification specifications of the hearing instrument should be. If a hearing instrument is too strong it can further damage ones hearing, and if its not strong enough it wont meet the persons hearing needs.
- To make sure a proper ear impression is taken of the ear when the aid is ordered. It takes special training and lots of practice to make a quality ear impression for a hearing aid and it requires a State License to do so. Consumers should never take their own ear impression! They may not see impacted wax, infection, a perforated eardrum, or any other defects, which would require a physician referral. Also, if an impression is not done correctly it can very easily result in a perforated eardrum.
Buyer Beware! If you have a hearing loss, have your hearing tested and your ears examined before you purchase a hearing instrument anywhere! Many State Licensed Hearing Instrument Specialists offer this service FREE of charge .

During the flight, there may be an increased urge to use the washroom. While the lavatories on flights are often not the greatest, it is important to dress in such a way that makes it fast and efficient to use the lavatory. Additionally, it is practical to sit in an aisle seat so you are closer to the lavatory.
When you sit for long periods, your feet and ankles may swell. To keep your circulation moving, stretch your legs once in a while or take short walks. You can take your shoes off, but be aware that your feet can swell and you may have difficulty putting your shoes on again.
If you have problems with varicose veins, pay attention to getting your blood circulation back to normal. You can periodically engage in vein pump exercises and get up and go back and forth. You can also use compression stockings to prevent edemas. A good tip if you use compression stockings is to put them on in the morning while you are still lying in your bed and keep them on all day. If you do not have any problems with varicose veins, a pair of normal socks will provide enough support so that you will not get varicose veins during the flight.
Up until the 12th week of pregnancy, the seat belt can fastened over the belly like normal. After that, the seat belt is fastened under the belly.

Subject: Draft Summerlin Master Plan Update
Dear Jeff:
This Master Plan Update offers a snapshot of Summerlin in its current state, and provides
criteria for its continued development. Lessons learned from the initial phase of Summerlin have
been formulated into a set of policies and recommendations to guide future planning efforts.
The Master Plan document is structured to readily permit partial updates to take place as
circumstances dictate. A comprehensive review and update should probably be undertaken
every two to three years considering the dynamics of the Las Vegas market.
I look forward to your review and comments.

Now that it's officially furnace season, we're going to be talking about "how to" stay safe this upcoming winter season with the main topic being deadly carbon monoxide.
You can't see it, smell it or even taste it, but it's responsible for hundreds of deaths and thousands of hospital-related injuries every single year.
The primary sources of carbon monoxide in our homes are simply anything that burns a flame -- furnaces, water heaters, stoves and some space heaters. It's crucial to have a qualified technician maintain these appliances yearly so that you and your family remain safe.
Having a battery backup carbon monoxide detector can also help, but here's a tip. Most of the more affordable detectors will only alert you when it's time to get out of the house. You can be slowly poisoned by CO for months and months and not even know it. A low level carbon monoxide detector will show you a digital read out of even the smallest levels so you can determine there's a problem faster and without injury.
Here's a few more hard hitting facts. If your furnace goes out, do not use your gas stove to heat your house. Do not use any type of temporary, non-vented gas heaters.
If you lose your power, do not bring a generator inside your home. Many people who have done this are not with us here today, period. Stay with a friend or contact a local agency.
Understanding the dangers of carbon monoxide is extremely important so that you and your family can have a safe and wonderful holiday season.

KHQ.COM - Volunteers from all over the country continue to search for those missing in Oso, Washington. It has been eight days since the worst mudslide in U.S. history hit the town and crews continue working through treacherous conditions to find what is left.
One of those volunteers traveled from North Idaho with the Red Cross to hand out supplies and food to rescuers and survivors. He says many are overwhelmed by how many people came to help and that the worst part of the disaster is the fact that it happened so fast.
DARRINGTON, Wash. (AP) - Authorities say the number of people who have been confirmed dead from the mudslide in Washington state has increased from 18 to 21.
Jason Biermann of Snohomish County Emergency Management said Sunday that 15 victims have been identified by the Snohomish County medical examiner. Six have yet to be identified.
Biermann says another four bodies were found in the debris field on Sunday. About 30 people remain missing after the massive mudslide in mountainside community of Oso on March 22.
(Copyright 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)
Officials previously set the number of missing people at 90, but they had said they expected that figure to drop dramatically as they worked to find people and cross-referenced a list that included partial reports and duplicates.
The confirmed death toll has risen to 18, Jason Biermann, program manager at the Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management, said at a Saturday evening briefing.
The massive landslide struck the small community of Oso north of Seattle on March 22.

Angel Governing March 11th to 15th
Angel number 71 - ANGEL HAIAIEL - Energy: DIVINE ARMS
(I pronounce the Angel's Name: HAW-EE-AW-EE-ELL (Like Bell) )
Qualities: Sword = insight, penetrating lucidity - Shield = luminous aura - Divine Protection, to be clear about the right decision - Liberates from oppressors - Overcomes adversity - Protects and leads to victory, peace - Bravery, courage, heroic acts - Leader - Develops great energy - Spokesperson for just causes.
Distortions: Discord, traitor, betrayal - Provides weapons for killing - Introduces inner contradictions - Rupture (divorce, contract, etc.) - Criminal ideas, perpetrator or inciter of crimes - Forced labor - Excessive rationality - Breaks commitments - War, continual conflicts.
I would like to share with you the following.
Standing, sitting or lying down, breathe in the name HAIAIEL by inhaling through the nose, and hold your breath a few seconds. Then, exhale slowly and progressively through the nose. Repeat the exercise as long as needed to create a state of calm. Then you can continue by breathing freely while continuing to invoke HAIAIEL keeping the eyes closed.
By invoking or repeating the Sacred Formula represented by the Angel's name, we create a passage between the conscious, the subconscious and the different layers of the unconscious, thus reprogramming the different Angelic states of consciousness within, and allowing ourselves to reconnect with our celestial origin. The objective of this work is to purify our soul and become totally conscious in order to rediscover the Knowledge that lies within.
HAIAIEL is your Angel number 1 (Physical) if your Birthday is March 11th to 15th
HAIAIEL is your Angel number 2 (Emotional) if your Birthday is June 1st, Aug 15th, October 28th, January 7th, March 19th.
HAIAIEL is your Angel number 3 (Intellectual) if you are born: 23h20 to 23h39 p.m.

First, Coconut Curry Sweet Potato Soup and homemade Rye Bread
sorry for the blur.. batteries were dying again. My camera is very fussy. Why can't I upload pics here? I am getting really annoyed. I can only post them in HTML.
Andrew wanted Salad, Garlic Bread, Baked Ziti and Cheesecake for his bday dinner. I made both vegan and non vegan baked ziti and a total non vegan cheesecake, which I did not take a pic of. I also made the BEST EVER CARROT CAKE.. vegan of course, from VwaV.. only I used walnuts instead of macadamia nuts due to the insane price. These vegan desserts are soo good! I've always hated cake because of the eggs. I could taste them in everything. Same with cookies. It's a good thing I don't have a sweet tooth.
Salad and vegan garlic bread (from scratch)
The best ever carrot cake, with a lemon nutmeg glaze
The whole spread.. the vegan baked is on the left. It's hard to tell the difference from looks alone. The next time, I will try to pass it off... I have tons leftover for the freezer! I'll let you know it if passes the test when I serve it again.
The Bday boy.. this was the best shot I could get of him, due to his wanting to goof off. Happy 15th bday Andrew! Excuse my tacky panel in the backround. I really need to paint my kitchen. Can you paint over panel? Who in their right mind would put panel in a kitchen???

Pateros beat Yakama Nation 63-36 Thursday morning in the first game of the State B basketball tournament in Spokane.
The Nannies controlled the game from the beginning, even though they had a hard time holding onto the ball all game long. They finished with 18 turnovers, yet still managed to pressure the Eagles into shooting a woeful 23 percent from the field.
Katarina Wilson led the Nannies with 11 points, including 3-of-12 from three-point range. Ashton Steggall scored nine, while Vanesa Figueroa and Kim Vazquez both scored eight points.
Lynndel Wapsheli led Yakama Nation with 13 points.
Pateros moves on to play the winner between St. John-Endicott and Sunnyside Christian Friday afternoon at 3:45.

Morning Discussion: New Year's EveGood morning and welcome to this last day of 2010. Today also closes out our Best of 2010 Awards with the naming of the Game of the Year. It won't be much of a revelation to those who've been following along this week, but that's sort of the nature of these things. The game that takes home the top prize usually also takes the awards for any categories in which it's nominated.
That situation led to what's turned out to be a controversial decision with our awards. To open up the fields and better recognize the breadth of great games this year, I suggested we separate the console platforms. In this generation, "exclusives" are thought of in terms of whether they are on PS3 or 360, and multiplatform developed for both. So that's how the awards are broken up. As part of that, Mass Effect 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction received consideration as 360 "exclusive" games though they also appear on PC.
Some have inferred from this that PC isn't being taken seriously. This is not the case. The method of dividing up the titles merely reflects the competitive landscape of the video game industry. However, to be completely up front, it was an oversight not to include Mass Effect 2 in the PC category nominations. We have a lot of exciting games to look forward to in 2011 and regardless of what you play them on--PC, 360, PS3, Wii, DS, 3DS, PSP, iPhone, Android, or whatever--Shacknews will be in the thick of them, playing everything we can get our hands on and telling you about them.

Comments about COLUMBIA Women's Mercury Maven II Jacket:
I bought this for myself because I needed a winter coat that was not going to break the bank. This was a great price for this coat! It fit perfect. I am about 5"3 and 130 lbs. and a medium fit perfect. So cute. I would buy another one in the other color if i had enough money. My suggestion is to get one before there gone. I have a feeling they will sell fast once it gets cold!

There's nothing official from the Green Bay Packers yet tonight, but multiple outlets are reporting General Manager Ted Thompson has signed VInce Young. The Packers worked out the former number one pick of the Tennessee Titans this morning and according to reports, signed him to a one year contract, most likely worth the veteran's minimum of $840,000. Young won't cost the team a thing unless he makes the final 53 man roster. His signing is an indication the team isn't enamored with either Graham Harrell or B.J. Coleman as the backup to Aaron Rodgers heading in to the season. Coleman in particular, struggled this past week in practice, including a two interception outing in the Family Night scrimmage at Lambeau Field. I've also read some speculation that because the Pack opens the season with Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffen III, Young's arrival would give the defense a look at an agile runner at the position. I'm more inclined to follow the first line of thinking.
After leading Texas to the National Championship over USC, Young was drafted third overall by the Tennessee Titans in 2006. He was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year in the AFC, twice reached the Pro Bowl and while he exhibited some eye popping highlights, inconsistency and off-field issues ended his run in Nashville after five seasons. Young went 30-17 as a starter. In 2011, he was a backup with the Philadelphia Eagles which ran a West Coast offense under Andy Reid at the time. He was with the Buffalo BIlls in training camp last summer but was cut just before the regular season began. Young has been waiting for the phone to ring ever since. His career numbers are rather pedestrian, 755 completions in 1304 attempts, 57.9 percent, for 8964 yards, 46 touchdowns and 51 interceptions.
The Packers cancelled what was originally scheduled to be a team building exercise on Monday. They'll return to the practice field Tuesday morning at 8:20 AM and it'll be the first chance to speak with Young and hear from Mike McCarthy not only about his new quarterback, but the apparent season ending knee injury to starting left tackle Bryan Bulaga that was covered on a previous post.

Okay, if you don't hunt or have any Venison roasts left in the freezer, this works just as well with beef. The Stout really adds a great flavor.
3 lbs venison or beef roast cut in large chunks
4 Tbs cooking oil
15 carrots sliced
6 potatoes cut in chunks
1 medium onion sliced
4 garlic cloves
1 x 12 oz bottle stout (I've only used Guinness)
2 to 3 cups water
Salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Brown the meat in cooking oil in a large Dutch oven and set aside. Add the vegetables & cook until lightly colored, then pour in the Stout and stir well.
Add the water, return the meat, and salt & pepper. Bring to a boil then remove from burner, cover and put in the oven for 2 & 1/2 hours. Check after the first hour and the last half hour to make sure there is still water in the pan. Remove from heat and let sit 15 minutes before serving.

You can prevent a seat post from slipping by following a few simple steps:
1. Check that the seat post is the correct size for the seat tube of the particular bike you are using. The diameter of the seat post is normally on the tube marked at the bottom the tube, e.g. 31.6mm - 287mm. The first figure indicates the diameter of the seat post which should be used . Picture 1 In this particular case the seat post needs to be changed.
2. When using a seat post or frame made of carbon ensure that there is no grease on either surface. If grease is present thouroughly clean both the post and seat tube. Once both surfaces are completely grease free apply carbon assembly paste to the seat post and reassemble.
3. Finally check that the seat clamp is tightened to the correct torque setting. For Canyon seatclamps we recommend using 3-5Nm with the maximum possible torque is 7Nm. Canyon recommends to use the lowest setting without slipping or twisting of the post.
Ensure that all bolts and screws are tightened to the correct torque. The correct torque is indicated on the component itself, in the bike manual provided with your new bike, or here in the Technical Support Center.
Do not cycle with the seat post inserted too far or pulled too far out. The maximum figures are printed on the seat post. Please note the tightening torque for the seat clamp.
