M101-5/M101-4 article: call for information-- LAST appeal for info

thanks to all. Please keep 'em coming, and yes, info on blank backs is appreciated too.

If not too much of a hassle, please indicate which cards you have are graded, although we don't necessarily need to know the grades. When trying to assess populations, we don't want to double count cards reflected in pop reports along with those identified by collectors. Along those same lines, if you own a graded card that has been mislabled, or if you have had one corrected, please let us know. The grading companies were lax for a long time on labeling the cards with the various backs, instead lumping them all as m101-4s or m101-5s, which of course overstates the populations for the generic m101s and understates the particular backs. Population analysis is tough enough as it is, so any help we can get on "true" info would be appreciated.

Leon, you've got it wrong on back scarcity. Everybody's is actually the most common back--seems Everybody has one. So I'd be willing to send you an unopened box of '89 Donruss for yours, no, make that Topps (so you can enjoy the gum)
