1916 H801-9 The Globe

[timelord]

Greetings fellow pre war collectors. I was wondering if we have any experts on the 1916 H801-9 cards that have The Globe advertising on back. Any information on rarity in comparison with other add backs would be appreciated.
Merry Christmas

I would put them a bit over the middle, not real tough but not common if you are just looking for a type card. Now if you are looking for a certain player or working a team set, then very hard to impossible.

Here are the pop reports (many still not graded but gives you an idea vs the most common and one of the hardest ones, remember 200 cards in the set.

M101-4 SN Blank Back- (PSA 1579 + SGC 499 ) = 2078 Total Graded
The Globe- (PSA 59 + SGC 154 ) = 213 Graded (just over one sets worth)
Mall Thearter- (PSA 0 + SGC 5 ) = 5 Total Graded

IMO, Globe is the Fifth/Sixth easiest ad back or 13th/14h toughest, depending on your point of view. The most common ad backs are TSN and Famous & Barr, then Standard Biscuit and Herpolsheimer with Weil Baking and Globe closer to that latter group than the next toughest, which is Indy Brewing. After that, they become noticeably tougher.

Greetings, thanks for the info. I thought they were much tougher then implied here. I personally don't rate strickly on what has been graded since I think there are some BIG old timers collections that have mostly raw cards. I myself have more raw then graded in my collection. Just an observation. Thanks for the responses and hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.

According to old cardboard's relative population estimate % among sponsors of M101-4/5's

Blank 40%
SN 20%
F&B 12%
std biscuit 6%

then all at 2%:
Globe, Gimbels, Herpolsheimer, Indy Brewing, Morehouse Baking, Ware's, Weil Baking.


of course the oldcardboard info references Todd, so...............
