Yes, any of the M101-4/5 group, and also the BF2

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".

Thanks!

D350-1 and Gimbels yes, they are 1916 M101-4/5 group.

D350-2 and Boston Store no, they are 1917 E135 group.

The most common of the M101-4/5 group are the blank backed cards.

There are 20 different backs found in the M101-4/5 group (not including variations).
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.



Here is a link to a post from a couple years ago thats shows roughly the multipliers of scarcity.

PLEASE keep us posted on what grade SGC gives it (if any).

I hope for you that they cross it straight over!!

GREAT CARD!

I just hope you don't get caught in the battle where one company doesn't want to recognize a card from another rival company.
