I and a few others have been working on a year by year checklist for the Exhibits. FWIW we have the first Mays card issued in 1953.
Why? Well, he would not have been issued in 51 as he was an unknown rookie. The 1952 set we believe was issued in B&W as is evidenced by the two 1951 team cards and others issued in B&W, but no Mays in B&W with the Made in U.S.A. Thus 1953 was the Mays "rookie" Sepia Exhibit card with the Made in U.S.A designation.

I'm down with that.
The fact is a nice Mays is still a solid early Mays card.
