Need help with my m101 research.

Thanks again guys. I've had a few more contact me privately and I know there are still more out there. Keep 'em coming, por favor.

Rob, I lack scans of all the cards you listed except O'Neill Weil Baking and O'Neill Holmes2Homes. Scans of the rest very much appreciated.

BTW, I've only confirmed 9 Mall Theatres and have scans for 7. Now I know this is a toughie--probably the toughest-- but if anyone out there cares to add to this paltry pop now would be a good time

Hey Todd
You know I just picked up (and just signed for at my door ) the Promo Successful Farming Jackson. But other than that here is what you asked for. If there are others you need let me know asap please.....Thanks for doing this too...

Fantastic research project, especially since a month ago I decided to begin pursuing a -4 and -5 set. I will provide scans for anything I collect moving forward that would seem uncommon.

Thanks Leon and Rob. Congrats Leon on that SF Joe Jax promo card--that is a very special card.

Below are the four variations of the back of Everybody's Boys' Clothing Department. Don't mean to turn this thread into a back variation thread, just showing four of the five Everybody's I have.

The differences in the variations are very subtle and probably cant be fully appreciated with such low res scans, but are rather detectable in person. The difference between the Thin and Very Thin can best be seen in the apostrophe. The difference between the Thick and Very Thick can best be seen in the font of 'Boys' Clothing Department'.

Thanks for the input. Yes there are back variations, although I'm not into populating them per se right now. There are 3 Gimbels backs--see Leon's post above, 4 Everybody's, and upside down backs confirmed for Successful Farming and Standard Biscuit. Block & Kuhl, Famous & Barr and Herpolsheimer also can all be found with the backs reading top to bottom or bottom to top.

BTW, I do not really discern the differences in your "thick" and "very thick" examples, although my eyes aren't what they used to be. If there is a difference it would make five different backs for Everybody's. There is one missing from your group--I'll try and post scan later but it can be seen on the Old Cardboard site under m101 back "Gallery of all known backs"--it's the one far right.

The way I use to tell these apart is to look at the "E". If both the top and bottom serifs point out at about 45 degree angles, that's one type back (it also has a very broad middle serif). This is the one lacking from the four above. If just the bottom serif points out at that angle and the top and middle "stems" extend the same distance, that's type two (also has long apostrophe, if you're unsure). The third appears to have the top and bottom serifs pointing more directly straight and the middle stem is shortest (also has short-tailed apostrophe if you're unsure). The fourth just has a thicker font by far throughout and is easily distinguished from the others by that feature.

Hope that helps.
