AnonymousTodd,
I'm sorry to have you repeat the question. Now to answer all of your questions.
1. Why not post this on the main board?
I will. Gladly. I will go further and ask if anybody has cards from a blank-backed 1915 set that I have four cards from in my collection.
2. What are the dimensions?
I don't have a ruler and never have and I have still collected over 2100 cards in my current collection. From top to bottom the card is an eighth of an inch longer than a E135 Collins McCarthy and the same length as a large E220. From side to side the card is just a little wider than the inside picture of a E135 or E220. I apologize for the unscientific and inexact measurements at least from listing inches.
3. Why do you think this is affiliated wit TSN?
When the Connie Mack was offered years ago, it was listed as a 1911 Sporting News. The auction I bought this card in listed it as a 1911 Sporting News. When I asked Frank K. Ward about the card, he identified it as a 1911 Sporting News. When I researched the stamp on the back, the card set was identified as 1911 Sporting News. Also, in the case of the two samples in question, both pictures appeared as full page supplements in the Sporting News.
Just allow me some time to size down my scans and post the cards. I hope I am not coming off as cocky. It is unintentional.
