The Cy Young was - I believe - issued in 1951, which is when Baseball Magazine issued a number of posters of "old timers." They issued new (as opposed to contemporaneous) portraits of Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Honus Wagner and a few others around this time. Since the M114 set began in 1920 (as a continuation of the larger-sized M113 set, issued 1910 - 1919), there could not have been a Cy Young premium issued during his career. Young also had no M113 poster, as the series began just about the time his career ended.

M114 is a terrific set, especially if you're strong enough to collect a set you'll almost certainly never complete. And don't even get me started on displaying the damned things!
thank you- Matt
