General M116 Sporting Life Question

[timn1]

Back issues of my article in Old Cardboard, which is the most comprehensive info on the set, are still available at

https://www.oldcardboard.com/subscriptions.asp


From the Old Cardboard M116 checklist page:
"For a detailed description of the Sporting Life set, see article by Tim Newcomb in Old Cardboard magazine (1910-12 M116 Sporting Life: A (Mostly) Pastel Treasure, Issue #18, Winter 2009, p. 14)."

Glad to see you chime in on this thread, because I always associate this set with you.

I do have one question...I have the following cards listed below with the 'When You Think" backs, which differs from what shows on the Master Checklist on the Old Cardboard site. I assume that examples of each of these cards should be as I have listed them (or else I am just one incredibly lucky ducky collector).

012a Jack Barry - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead

018a George Bell - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead

023a Bob Bescher - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead

036a Bobby Byrne - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead

072a Mickey Doolan - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead

110a Topsy Hartsel - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead

166a Amby McConnell - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead

177a Fred Merkle - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead

258a Bill Sweeney - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead

Brian, when I checked the list just now on the oldcardboard site, all of the cards you listed are in fact listed in the checklist as having a Type 1 "When you think" back.

Did you perhaps copy and paste the checklist from the site into Excel and the rows shifted on you?

Thanks Mark, I actually had printed off this checklist in January 2009, and I guess those entries were updated at some point after this time. Time to print off a new checklist. And of course this means I am not such a lucky ducky M116 collector after all!
