Wahoo! A Serious Sam Score of M101 cards (scan heavy)

[h2oya311]

Wow! What a nice run! I’ve seen many Indianapolis Brewing (different players) with that identical damage. Looks like some sort of water that then caused the cards to adhere to one another.

Congrats! Happy hunting for the remaining backs!

Dave, I greatly enjoyed seeing your M101 pickups of Crawford. I much prefer the real-photo, b & w cards to the colorful, artists'-rendition cards such as T206. And, I love all the scarce M101 backs. Congrats to you!

[Phil68]

Wonderful!!!

I love back runs. I can add a few, an Altoona Tribune, a Holmes to Homes with a scarce inverted back, and a Globe:

This is beyond belief that you could get all these at once. Congrats!

First off, to respond to Derek's comment, about 10 years or so ago these damaged Indianapolis Brewing cards began to pop up on Ebay. Your Crawford is one that has less damage than some from this batch...it could have ended up looking like my Konetchy!

Overall very nice Crawford grouping, and good luck on picking up additional cards.

Congrats, Dave!

Jay, Sweet Crawfords! Just nice to see those examples.

Brian, yeah from what I hear a lot of the Indy brewing cards have a lot of damage.

Great job, Dave. It's always great to see m101 eye candy, and yes, Brian, to some of us hard cores, that Konetchy is gorgeous (well, maybe not gorgeous, but much appreciated anyway). That rain-soaked Indy Brew group has been making appearances on ebay since around the turn of the century.

The good news Dave--you won't have to track down one of the other Gimbels backs. The less good news--the Famous and Barr Crawford can be found with the reverse reading in either direction, so you might get obsessed with finding the other one. Lastly and FYI, you'll see that your Weil Baking has a stray dot/mark between the group of four dots and "LA" on the bottom. That is not found on many from the set--I've only seen about a half dozen or so (including WaJo). Can't say it makes it any scarcer, since those players with the dot apparently have not been found without it, but thought you might find that interesting.

Awesome Crawfords, both. Those cards have some serious booties

Thanks Dave. That Burgess-Nash is a really tough back. If you get serious about going for the complete run mine, possibly with the exception of the upside down H-H, are available for trade.
