I'll take Series 1 please. Where do I send my 4 cents?

Not a bad deal - Cobb, Wagner, Matty and 4 other HOFers for 4 cents!

Thanks for posting...

In my M116 article I worked extensively with the Sporting Life order forms, and pictured several of the various card offers that appeared in the magazine. It's fun to see a page with the order form cut out, however-- and it's kind of amazing that a cut-up page like that would have survived for 100 years.
