Help Ranking M101 4/5 backs

[Archive]

Posted By: Scott Mt. Joy

Hi all,

I have been getting into M101 4/5 a lot lately, I was wondering how everyone ranks the backs as far as scaricty. Old cardboard had a great article on them and mentioned the scaricty has changed a lot based on a couple of finds but I wanted to see how everyone would rank them today.

I will give it a shot on my short time collecting these cool cards but I am no expert on them. I will go from hardest down to most common -


Mall Theatre
Green-Joyce
Holmes To Homes
Successful Farming
Block & Kuhl
Burgess-Nash
Ware's Basement
Altoona Tribune
Morehouse Baking
Indianapolis Brewing
Gimbels
Everybody's
Standard Biscuit
The Globe Stores
Weil Baking
Herpolsheimer Co.
Famous And Barr
Sporting News
Blank

Let me know how you rank them, thanks for any and all help.

Good question especially since there have been small hoards of several of the most scarce ones found in the last several years. There are several that can be interchanged now and would still be fairly accurate. I think I might even put Green-Joyce at the top but not by a lot. Since I have seen small groups of several of the "once" hardest ones, and I have not seen groups of some of the other scarce ones, I will change your list a bit. It really is very close on the top 10 now....from most difficult to least difficult and from what I have seen. I could probably be talked into switching a few.

Green-Joyce
Successful Farming
Block & Kuhl
Mall Theatre
Holmes To Homes
Everybody's
Gimbels
Burgess-Nash
Morehouse Baking
Ware's Basement
Altoona Tribune
Indianapolis Brewing
The Globe Stores
Weil Baking
Standard Biscuit
Herpolsheimer Co.
