EXHIBITS SUPPLY COMPANY SPORTS CHAMPIONS "SLICKS" GLOSSY PAPER DISPLAY VARIATION
"Slicks" are paper versions of the Exhibit Supply cards produced on “slick” glossy paper. They served as exact replicas (same dimensions) of the typically thick postcard-like cards and were designed to be affixed to headers on the front of exhibit vending/arcade machines. ESCO likely produced them because paper is more cost-effective and lighter than cardboard. When manufacturing and mailing tens of thousands of these each year, every penny saved matters. It's unknown if "slick" variations were made of every card but they are far more rare than the standard card stock issue.
