Examine the evidence of Exhibit card display appeal with this attractive group of header boards. Fashioned to attract attention at point of sale locations, vending machine toppers such as these prompted generations of patrons to drop their coins into the slot and get something that’s really hot, to paraphrase the great Chuck Berry. Featured is a lot of (6) non-sport trading card displays, with (5) Exhibit vending machine headers and (1) Nu Card Singers poster. Generally pleasing across the board, these vintage promoters showcase a variety of movie cowboys, pop singers and lovely ladies in their glorious natural form.
