Tim NewcombHi folks,
If you respond to this, please email me directly at apspr@msn.com so the thread stays fairly clean.
I've put out feelers on this before in an unsystematic fashion, but this time I'd like to do it right.
As part of Bob's and my long-range project on M116 Sporting Life, I would like to do a population survey like the one I did for T207. I'm not convinced the survey will yield the startling results that one did, but it will allow us to test some of our theories about scarcities and back variations.
It doesn't matter how few cards you have-- every piece of info helps a lot!
If you'd like to participate, here's what we need:
-- a list of all your M116 cards (if you are close to a complete set, send your wantlist instead, but please do answer the follow-up questions below).
The list should indicate:
-- which cards in Series 1 and 2 you have with blue backgrounds, and which with pastel backgrounds. For your reference a list of the cards in these series is attached below.
-- which cards in Series 3 have black ink on the back, and which have blue ink. Series 3 list below.
-- which cards you have with the "300 subjects" back. An image of this back is attached below
