Thanks to those who have provided input about the D350 Standard Biscuit set--both in this thread and via email. We will be reviewing the Old Cardboard webpage in the near future to make any necessary changes. There seems to be some discrepancy between the listing in Burdick's American Card Catalog and other hobby lists in use today. The ACC listing states:

D350--Am. & Nat. League Baseball Stars, Standard Biscuit .... .30 [as in 30 cents!!]
1--Large cards (80), 2--1-5/8 x 3 (200) about 1916, B&W
Like D352 & 2nd Sporting News series M101-5.

From this, the ACC seems clear in classifying the D350-1 as the Large format series and designates 350-2 as the smaller format cards. That is the way they are shown on the OC web page. The ACC does not mention a D350-3 series.

There also appears to be a descrepancy between the ACC and some hobby checklists about the set size for the two (three) D350 subsets. We are trying to determine these differences and gain a concensus among interested parties. Based on the concensus, we will make any needed adjustments to the Old Cardboard website in the next week or two.

Any additional input or comments about the D350 set (either on or off-line) is most welcome.

Thanks again to all who have posted.
