Posted By: <b>Judge Dred (Fred)</b><p>I guess the D350-2 (Standard Biscuit) would also be included in this as well as the Boston Stores, Gimbels, etc. I'm not well versed in this era of cards. I would guess that the Sporting News cards are the most prevalent of these. Is there an order of "scarcity" one could follow for the cards from those series? Can I get opinions on the cards starting with the "most" (Sporting News) and finishing the list with the "least".<br /><br />Thanks!

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>D350-1 and Gimbels yes, they are 1916 M101-4/5 group.<br /><br />D350-2 and Boston Store no, they are 1917 E135 group.<br /><br />The most common of the M101-4/5 group are the blank backed cards.<br /><br />There are 20 different backs found in the M101-4/5 group (not including variations).<br />I think Leon had a list the M101-4/5 group broken down from common to rare, I'll see if I can find it.<br /><br /><br /><br />Here is a link to a post from a couple years ago thats shows roughly the multipliers of scarcity.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1088625773/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1088625773/</a>
