EXHIBITS SUPPLY COMPANY SPORTS CHAMPIONS
Chicago's Exhibit Supply Company cards were meant to be sold in amusement parks and penny arcades. They were sold individually and not packaged with other cards, gum or tobacco, which was rather unusual. Exhibit Supply Co. (ESCO) released over 14,000 different cards between 1921 to the 1970s. This 1948 Sports Champions set consisted of 50 cards, 5 of which were basketball, including a "rookie" George Mikan card.
