(Zack) Wheat Wednesday: 1922 Eastern Exhibit, Slabbed a PSA 5!

The latest addition to my Zack Wheat collection is a scarce and beautiful piece I snagged from eBay. I don't see them pop up all that often and I was totally unaware the set existed for a number of years. 60% of the 20-card set is HOF players and most of the cards are sepia-toned, as is the case with this particular Wheat.

This pose of Wheat following through with his swing is a very, very common one on his cards in the 1920s but it's a great picture choice overall. The laser focus on his face, the knee-high pants, and the prominent Brooklyn B on his cap make it a true winner in my book. I've always liked Exhibits and this one is very likeable.

This 1922 Eastern Exhibit is PSA 5 graded and is a most welcome score.
