You'll find a lot of Exhibit collectors on here in one capacity or another. I think you have the 1920's and 1930's exhibits that I wouldn't consider mainstream personally. I think the Salutation and 1947-1966 exhibit sets are more mainstream. Size-wise they are different from cards but fall into similar sizes as the 1964 Topps Giants, 1970/1971 Topps Supers etc. Basically, it's what you make of it......if you want to consider them 'cards' and collect them that way, go ahead. The 1947-1966 set contains a ton of variations and tougher cards issued later in theat time run. I like all the exhibits and have a complete set of 1947-1966's and missing about 8-10 from the Salutations and have complete sets of all (3) Stat Back sets........overall, they're pretty affordable cards for the period they were issued in and some of the cards/poses are fantastic. Good luck in your quest!
