Hmmmmmm......
I'm curious about these, leaning towards them being some sort of reprint.
While I do know, based on multiple variations in the text & fonts on the bottom of some M113s and M114s, that Baseball Magazine DID have multiple printings of some supplements, I lean towards thinking that these are some other sort of reprint, not from Baseball Magazine.
I have a few M113/114s (847 different at the moment) and have never seen these M113 poses on M114 sized paper before. I would be quite surprised if 12 different ones popped up in seemingly perfect condition and they were in fact issued by Baseball Magazine. But, stranger things have happened. Some of these are quite scarce, how many times do you see either of the Mantle supplements? Or a Hank Aaron? The answer is very very seldom.
I have seen M113s trimmed to M114 size if the pictures are small enough (Jack Barry, Bullet Joe Bush), but most of the pictures are too large to do so, and all of these auctions are the larger pictures.
I sent the seller a question regarding the paper, let's see what the response is.

PS - the omission of the credit isn't necessarily a bad thing. Any of the M113s that I own that match this seller's pictures also have the matching lack of credits.
