Felix Mendelsohn & M101-4 and M101-5

I believe that Gimbel's are usually associated with the M101-4 set, but there always seem to be some inconsistencies with these issues.

Both PSA and SGC have cards from both checklists in their Gimbels pop reports, but M101-4 is definitely the most common. Anson shows Gimbels as one of the sets that uses both checklists on his website.

I believe that the only Gimbel's cards that have been found to correspond to the M101-5 set come from the early cards - #s 1-20, but there may have been new finds to refute this.

Also, there are also several different types of Gimbel's backs.

Again, I will defer to Todd or one of the other experts on this issue.
