topic: why are exhibits so underrated as a set?

[Chris-Counts]

I collect Exhibit cards, but I understand why many don't. They're caught in this no man's land between a card and a postcard, they lack color, it's basically one big set from 1939 to about 1966, and there are a bunch of fakes in the market, along with reprints, to muddy the waters. As a collector, where do you even start?

yes, chris. this is a crucial observation. i think there is a much higher barrier to entry for these cards, as -- as you say -- they straddle many worlds and dating + understanding them requires a bit of sleuthing!! cheers!
