Obtained directly from the son of the man who collected a group of 1921, 1922, and 1923-24 Exhibits at the Provincial Fair of Ontario. The origin of this collection strongly supports the theory that the first three baseball issues from the Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) of Chicago were consistently distributed over a four-year time period, rather than during just individual years. The confirmed provenance also answers a long-posed question, which is where the "Made in U.S." stamped-back cards originated from: these cards were legally exported to Canada and therefore were required by Customs to be marked as a product from the United States.
Graded VG 3 by SGC. The hobby's top-graded example (1 of only 2). Possesses minor to moderate corner wear and a crease near the top edge of the card. Stamped "Made in U.S." on the reverse side.
