  I think they were produced during those years.
  
  That style anyway.
  
  
  Clemente of course was not produced in 1947.

  I believe they were manufactured by the Exhibit supply co. from the early 1920's until 1966 and sold for a penny from exhibit card machines. The machines were found at numerous locations and were also called penny postcards.
  
  Some more info from the internets.....This info is not all mine and may or may not be correct. Mike
  
  The Exhibit Supply Company also made, Movie Stars, Sports stars, Music Stars, and Cowboy Exhibit Cards. The front of some of the cards feature Facsimile Autographs, and at the bottom of some cards read in white: "An Exhibit Card" and "Made in USA" The cause of some frustration is that Exhibit did not mark the cards with the year of production. They did give a clue to dating however, in that the post-war cards carried an identifying mark. “MADE IN USA” (all caps) was used from 1939 through 1950, “Made in USA” (upper and lower case) from 1951 through 1953, “PRINTED IN USA” (all caps) from 1954-1956 and “Printed In USA” (upper and lower case) after 1956. In the years before 1951 the “MADE IN USA” varied in size each year so that Exhibit fanatics can in fact close in on the year of issue of each card. The back of most of the cards are blank. Reprints exist.
  

  USN 1977-1987 * ALL cards are commons unless auto'd. Buying Britneycards. NWO for life.

  The 1947-66 Exhibits were generally printed on 32-card sheets. Some players and/or poses were only printed once, some were printed year after year, that's why some non-star players or poses can be scarcer/more valuable than the superstars. A few of the earlier "Salutation" Exhibits were also printed into the post-war era.
