It's amazing how cheap 1911 sporting life's have gotten!

Ole buddy,
I hate to still admit it but this old dinosaur prof still can't scan. I know it's kinda pitiful since i've been on this board heading toward 9 years or so.
My wife did manage to get someone at her school to scan a couple of things for me over the years for Scott F and Craig D's websites---both framed pieces.
I actually sent Jon C some pictures of a couple of the walls a year or two back
and that's been about it.
But thanks for askin'.
all the best and Happy 4th.

I've said for the last 10 years that the M116 Sporting Life card set is not only visually very pleasing but has a great deal of room for growth. Now that the T213 Coupon cards are finally starting to appreciate in price as are the T207 scarce back cards, it's about time for the 3rd undervalued and underappreciated set to take off. It's not close to where it should be, still a great buy, especially those tough, scarce cards which rarely appear for sale....

I tried, but won't collect them because there are way too many high grade examples out there given distribution practices. As a result, to me, a mid-grade example looks poor. Just cuz i am used to seeing all those sparkly white borders and sharp corners.

IMHO this is not a set that is "under valued" or likely to take off any time soon.

More like Fan Craze, where top condition is expected.

But they are beautiful!

IMO, the fronts of these cards are nice, but the backs with the 'Sporting Life' advertisements are the best part and some of the coolest ads on any cards out there...........Matt

Just looked at this thread....I remember those Barry.

These pics are for Peter, who prefers the M116 Johnson image to its T206 portrait counterpart.

Can someone kindly tell me if my understanding is correct (or not) that these are the only two ad backs the M116 WaJo can be found with? Thanks in advance.

From the M116 master recently published on this site, yes Val - those are the only two backs for WaJo.
