Lew Lipset said....M116
Posted By: Wade
I am in need of some assistance from the knowledgeable patrons of this board. I myself do not contribute much to this board as I am new to the vintage world, but I follow the posts left here daily. At the national this year I bought a few back copies of VCBC, and in issue #6 I found something that I don't understand. In an article on pages 20-23 by Lew Lipset he states that the M116 Sporting Life Set was issued in 24 series. In this article he says, "All of the backs are printed in blue ink with one exception. Actually there are 12 exceptions, as Series 3 appears only with the back that states "When you think of Baseball, etc." and is known with black or blue printing. The collector who obtains both black and blue printing of any card in Series 3 will notice subtle differences in the face of the card. For example.......Home Run Baker's cards use the same size photos but the one with blue printing shows a bright pink shirt, whereas the variation with black printing has a dull light brown colored shirt. All 12 series 3 cards have these type variations." |

I had a small collection of M116s. One of them had a black back. I had Lipset's 3 books, but it never occurred to me to look there. I kept worrying that the black-backed card was a fake. |
