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

[puckpaul]

Always enjoyed these, chance to pickup some great players cheaply! I did however shell out some money for some fully intact M113s from Steve V many years ago. Complete large sizes and no creases. Steve convinced me how rare they were like that. Someone referenced Steve buying these years ago, I was the beneficiary and ultimate buyer of some of them.

I Moved around quite a bit after that, lugging the stack of these around in an art case. I framed a few so I can see them easily, then thought that was mistake since they were in such pristine condition that was now covered up a bit! I love that Walter Johnson pitching arm pose, pretty unique image and card?

Never see much interest in these, or love from auctions or prices... but they are great!

Here is my Walter... unlike the others this one was well loved over the years and creased.

That's the best m113, in my opinion.

I've gotten interested in the M114's relatively recently. They seem to provide a rare opportunity to land a "card" of some otherwise unobtainable Hall of Famers. I gather, though, that some/many of the poses were issued after the players' careers were over.

Is there a checklist anywhere online that gives the dates of issue of the various poses? I assume everyone would prefer something that was issued during the player's career, just I assume there'd be a price difference attached to the issues from when the player was active. I'm not so much interested in price/value, though, just year of first issue. Can anyone help?

Long ways off, but I will have well over 100 M113/114's in my next auction, with several text variations and HOFers.

I have several signed M114s from the Doc Steen collection. But my favorite signed M114 is my Wagner:



I also used to own this signed M113 Speaker, but I traded it for a Ty Cobb check endorsed by fellow T206 player Cad Coles.

Great thread with a lot of information. The collector gene can clearly be seen.
I remember measuring, to a 64th of an inch, a whole group of 1916-W unc cards as a small project. I drank a lot of coffee that morning, as I remember.
Thanks for sharing, guys!
