Exhibit cards were produced over nearly two decades and distributed through penny arcade and vending machines, making them a beloved and nostalgic format for vintage collectors. The "CK" connected variation refers to a specific printing distinction in the facsimile signature, adding an extra layer of collectibility for advanced Mantle collectors.

🎯 Fun Fact: Exhibit Supply Co. cards were not sold in packs or stores — they were dispensed one at a time from penny arcade machines, often in train stations and amusement parks. A kid in the 1950s could drop a penny and walk away with a Mickey Mantle. Not a bad deal.
