M116 request for info

[Archive]

Posted By: Tim Newcomb

OK, folks, here it is again:

my request for information on your holdings of M116 Sporting Life. I’m working away at the Old Cardboard article on the set, and you could help by supplying me with this info.

If none of it applies, don’t feel you have to list your holdings, although I’m always happy to hear from other fans of the set.

1. I’m interested in knowing about UNGRADED copies of the following cards. If they are graded by SGC or PSA I don’t need ‘em as I’m using population reports.

Series 1– do you have blue or pastel backgrounds?
Bender
Chance
Chase
Cobb
E. Collins (PHI)
Davis
Dooin
L. Doyle (NYG)
Jennings
Mathewson
McQuillan
Hans Wagner

Series 2– do you have blue or pastel backgrounds?
Bresnahan
M. Brown (CHI)
Crawford
B. Donovan (DET)
Gibson
D. Jones (DET)
Jordan
Lajoie
Leach
Harry Lord (BOS)
Tenney
Thomas

Series 3– do you have blue or black ink on the back?
Adams
Baker
F. Clarke (PIT)
Devlin
Evers
Moren
Mullin
Rucker
Summers
Tinker
Waddell
C. Young (CLE)
____________________________________________

2. The other main thing I need to know about is any examples of “300 Subjects” backs on cards not from the final six series. I have attached a list of the cards from Series 19-24. All examples of these cards carry this back, so I don’t need to know about them. But if you have any card, graded or ungraded, with this back that is NOT on the following list, please let me know.

We are now able to confirm the existence of the "300 Series" back on every card in Series 1 (pastels only).

Still looking for more confirmation of this back on cards from other series--

Thanks!
