Logically, I would have given the supersized 1957 posters a separate number (M114-2) maybe?
But I'm not in charge of our little corner of the planet. I just live here.
By the way, Doug, I can state categorically that I have NEVER seen that Joe Gordon pose you posted earlier. I just know the familiar NY and Cleveland poses. Given the fact that Gordon won the MVP in 1942, late 1942 or early 1943 would seem a strong possibility for this issue - perhaps the magazine felt that the MVP award winner deserved a new pose that they could market as a brand new poster? If that's the case, it's interesting that so few have (apparently) survived. The Cleveland poster wouldn't have been issued until 1947 or 1948.
