question for M116 experts

This question is from an eBay seller I have won pre-war cards from in the past. Frankly, I don't know enough about this set and thought someone here might:

Andrew, do you know anyone who could tell me if the Sporting Life cards that have the partial "sporting life" logo on the front image (bottom right) are recognized as rare or command a premium? The reason I am asking is that out of the hundreds of Sporting Life cards that I inherited, only a few have this logo. They are printed in either black or white ink. Thanks for your help!

Are you sure he is talking about the front of the cards? Do you have scans?

Joe, never mind. I figured out the answer and then emailed him. It appears that only certain cards have this partial "sporting life" logo imprinted on the shirt near the right bottom against the frame edge. Look very closely at Christy Mathewson's and then you will notice that all Mathewson Sporting Life cards appear to have it, as do a few other players. It looks like very few specific players have the logo on the front image, but I doubt it increases the value at all.

Yes, only a few players have that Sporting Life logo....it does seem the stars of that ERA have them.

There is NO premium for that...sorry.
