nice cards all
I've been unable to participate too much in the market of late due to financial reasons, and thus have spent more of my time doing research. I was very happy to win an entire run of March, 1916 Chicago Examiner newspapers, all bound in an oversized and heavy book. For those who recall, the Chicago Examiner put out an entire set of m101-5 in sheet form, as posted to this board some years back by David R. http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...light=examiner This is the only known sponsor of this set to issue in complete sheet form, to my knowledge anyway. The ads for the set, which was also offered in card rather than sheet form (though none have ever surfaced with an Examiner back), ran several times in March and April, and this bound volume has more than a half dozen, including one with Matty-- many several inches squared in size. I will scan them eventually, once I figure out how to place this huge tome on my scanner bed to properly capture them. Here is a generic shot from the ebay auction:
