Just picked these up and have never sent Exhibit cards in for grading before so just looking for some opinions on what these might grade... any thoughts?

    In case you wanted to know the years your Exhibits are from...

    Your cards are all early ones (a plus). The Berra is from 1949, the others are all from 1947, 1948, or 1950.

    1947 has a "MADE IN USA" of 1/2"
    1948 has a "MADE IN USA" of 5/8"
    1949 says "AN EXHIBIT CARD"
    1950 has a "MADE IN USA" of 7/16"


    after 1950 they went to "Made in USA"... and then "PRINTED IN USA" from 1954-56, and then "Printed in USA" 1957-64

    That is a really cool J. Robinson card,What did that set you back if you don't mind me asking?

    PS. If you ever see a Satchel Paige exhibit with the "AN EXHIBIT CARD" line at the bottom, it was made only in 1949 and should be considered his rookie card along with the 1949 Leaf and Bowman cards.

    I see them about 5-10 times a year on eBay and sometimes they sell for less than $20 image

    The above Groat was printed between 57 and 64.

    most probably by 1962 as he was traded to the Cards in 63.

    Thanks for the tips, Steve! I don't want to highjack Charlie9's thread here, so I've found another recent thread to highjack:

    Thanks for the opinions on grades guys, as well as what years they were from as I wasn't sure. I thought the 4th card was nicer conditioned than the others so I'm surprised most thought that was in the same ballpark as the first few. The Robinson does have a stain of some sort so I'm sure that will take it down quite a bit as I'll be asking for no qualifiers. I picked up a lot of 11 for $95 so probably not a steal but I think a nice price for decent conditioned ones. Not alot of star power after the Robinson and Berra other than a Monte Irvin in similiar condition.
