How can you tell them apart? M202-5 & 4

I'm sure this has been talked about. I can't figure out how to tell the 1915 M101-5 Sporting News from the 1916 M101-4 Sporting news. The major players have higher values in 1915.

essentially, you can't, unless they ahve have a back that has been determined to have been issued in only one year.

thanks, there was a Joe Jackson on Ebay last night and after staring at the book... I realized the Jackson card is one number off for each year. Your in trouble if your buying the early range of cards on what year is what... Plus, I don't know why SCD would print different prices for each year when you can't differentiate between the two.

If you'd read the message as well as the title, you'd see it's "M101-4" and M101-5" he's asking about, and the first person to answer his querry patientlyexcplains that unless this card has a back-specific year (er, year-specific back), there is NO WAY to tell one fromanother.

This is annoying to me, because he didn't see the earlier thread, and because i have a blank=backed Ruth, which Lipset told me, when he sold it to me, was the cheaper kind-and now I don't know why.

Hey Julie, I might have read it on old threads, but it doesn't mean I retained it. I actually never read it, and I was looking for a quick answer on it. Heck, I can't even remember what I had for breakfast today.

julie, julie, julie. You need to quit taking things so seriously, especially when smiley faces are attached. It's generally a indication of a joke or something not to be taken seriously.

I knew full what he was talking about, as I was the one that answered his question. I don't really have a problem with someone repeating a question becuase as far as I know, there is no way to do a search to find threads that may have the info you need.
