Those M114's - When Are We Going To Talk About Them?

[akleinb611]

Okay, I've been gone for a few days (work has been making me nuts, but it's better than the alternative), but it's clear that there are more M114 fans out there than I realized. Thanks to Doug for keeping this going. Just to keep things going further, here are a couple of scans. The first is of that M113 I alluded to earlier, picturing Vic Saier, who does not appear on any known checklist. The second is a third Ty Cobb - in addition to the M113 (already pictured) and the 1941 version (showing him about to bunt, the most common version), this one is a "Washington DC" version, undoubtedly part of the large 1957 issue. And no, it also doesn't appear on any checklist.

Very interesting read and great info. I was not aware of these issues and just checked Ebay to get an idea of pricing. There is a Wagner that looks brand new. Were these printed on special stock? Seems like these would be easy to duplicate and you would want to have these in hand to verify if they are original.

Again some great poses and they look great framed.

Also, in response to that earlier posting, I do have a few signed examples from this set. Nothing spectacular or rare, but I'll post what I have, hopefully by tomorrow.

I love that Saier.

As promised, here are images of most of the signed M114's that I have.

Nothing rare or astounding, but a nice little collection. I may have a few more that need excavation, and additionally, I have a large number of autographed M114 IMAGES. By that I mean that about twelve years ago, I gathered all the M114's that I had that pictured living players, and made photocopies of them and sent them out. They came back signed - but technically they're not "signed M114's".

Enjoy!

PS--The Don Kolloway is a bit of a cheat, as it's actually a signed inside cover from BB Magazine. But the image is the same as his M114.

I didn't discover m114s until after I had given up on autographs.

Those are nice Alan

I added the 1921 Giants Team to my collection, thanx to Richard Simon via ebay.

I also found that I do have an autographed m114...
