Default How 'Bout a Little Love for The Sporting Life M116 Set
While clearly existing in the long shadow of the T206 set, it's simplistic style is becoming a favorite target of my disposable income.

It doesn't have the wide variety of backs, action poses or total cards, only portraits executed with it's own level of beauty.

I actually just started putting together a collection of these (pardon the difference in scale. Don't have time to play around with equalizing the scan sizes).

Oldcardboard has a good page on the rarity of each card. Back type "3" is the 300 subjects back.

Great cards everyone. Paul's is a showstopper for sure. Congrats again on landing that beauty.

Can't agree more with it being a vastly underrated set.

Blue Wagner and some other material. As you can see the M116 set was actually issued 1910-1912, not 1910-11 as in the guides. I have later material from the 80 and 90 series as well.
