Default Need help with year of "Standard Biscuit" Ruth.

Posted By: Paul

There are three different Standard Biscuit sets -- one related to the M101-4/5 Sporting News sets, one related to the E135 Collins McCarthy set, and one related to the E121 American Caramel set. Bob Lemke has said that he messed up the various Standard Biscuit listings in the 2004 edition and plans to fix them.

Based on the pose, team name, and card number, sounds like yours is related to the Collins McCarthy set. The Collins McCarthy set used to be listed as 1916, but is now listed as 1917. Whether the Standard Biscuits were issued at exactly the same time is anyone's guess, but they should be within a few months or a year at most.

If you ever want to get rid of it, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

Paul
