Those M114's - When Are We Going To Talk About Them?

[akleinb611]

Logically, I would have given the supersized 1957 posters a separate number (M114-2) maybe?

But I'm not in charge of our little corner of the planet. I just live here.

By the way, Doug, I can state categorically that I have NEVER seen that Joe Gordon pose you posted earlier. I just know the familiar NY and Cleveland poses. Given the fact that Gordon won the MVP in 1942, late 1942 or early 1943 would seem a strong possibility for this issue - perhaps the magazine felt that the MVP award winner deserved a new pose that they could market as a brand new poster? If that's the case, it's interesting that so few have (apparently) survived. The Cleveland poster wouldn't have been issued until 1947 or 1948.

I agree on the separate number, but also just live here.

Here is the Indians Gordon, just so we can see them "all".

Wow, what a collection!

Great thread. Doug-beautiful collection

Doug and Alan, I have no knowledge on these at all so I could be foolish
to even mention this. How was the text done on these? Besides the location
of the text on the scans that Doug posted it looks like the spacing is different. Could there be a difference in the spacing of the text based on
when they were printed and possibly they could be separated (grouped) by the measurements
of the spacing of the text.

Hi Jim!

That is a fantastic supplement, thanx for posting.

You were one of the people I was thinking of you when I posted that list, I know you have others (like the Gehrig fielding pose), and I look forward to the day when you decide that baseball supplements are stupid and you want to get rid of yours.

Insert smiley face here.

Hi Pat - You may be foolish, but that would mean that I am, too. I don't know the answer to your question, but I consider the various spacing and font differences to be different printings of the supplements, and hence "variations".
