Finally getting close to finishing the resorting and relabeling of the Itoya folders that house my m114 collection.

Dang Doug, awesome pick ups again & discoveries! Looks like you got a nice hot streak going on.
Def looking forward to how all of this gets catalog. You have such a keen eye and attention to detail. Simply amazing. Cheers man!

There was a time in my life when a hot chick in a bikini would get me excited, but I think picture variations being added to my m113 collection, especially ones previously unknown to me, get me way more excited these days.

Hey Doug, great find on the Wajo.

Note that mine has the one belt loop and the baseball magazine on the right! A fourth version i guess.

Nice one Paul. I'm currently in the process of trying to procure one of those single belt loop, right caption versions... I was going to wait until I succeeded to announce what will henceforth be known as the "Puck Variation".

Insert smiley face here.

lol. It’s one of the coolest photos around, if you cant find one i might have to part with it to enter “the collection”. It’s so weird that they tinkered with these so much and there are so many variations.

Don't tease me...

That's part of why I fell in love with the set. There are less than 700 pictures and over 1500 total variations (that I am aware of, so far), so on average each of them has a variation (although less than half of them actually do).

Received a new Ruth m114 today. Caption variation #8 of Ruth picture version #6. This is my 25th Ruth m114, and I'm aware of at least one I'm missing.

[bigfanNY]

Doug you mention 25 Ruth M114's, how many M113's and how team photos he was in M113/ M114?

Happy Holidays and Thanks for sharing your collection. And for cataloging and very important and long running set. Maybe the longest running set in Baseball card History after Topps?

Merry, Happy, etc. to everybody.

Ruth does not have an individual m113, but he's included in the Red Sox Team m113 released in Dec 1915.

He's included in the Yankees Team m114s in 1921, 1923, 1926 (2 caption versions) and 1927.

Below are his 8 different individual pictures (the cropping on the smaller multi-bat version is different, note the distance above his hat), with the number of caption variations that I am aware of for each.

So, for those of you keeping score, Ruth is pictured on 1 m113, 5 m114 teams and 26 m114 individual posters for a total of 32 Baseball Magazine posters.

And Ruth isn't the player on the most posters (I think it's Gehrig, but honestly I never really thought about team pix until this post), although he does have the most different individual pictures (Walter Johnson has 6 pix).

[puckpaul]

do you have the Ruth Red Sox team picture? Cant recall seeing that one.

Your wish is my command...

[puckpaul]

Great piece! Cant be many of those around.

Picked up a scrapbook full of these today. Will go through it later and snap some pics!

Thank you very much for thinking of me and my ongoing quest. I just sent you an email from the net54 system.

That's a cool scrapbook Mike, congrats. I just sent you a PM as there are a few that I would love to get from you.

[Schlesinj]

Wow, Neffs Pa, talk about a needle in a haystack.

[GoCubsGo32]

Incredible scrapbook! Congrats!

With thanks to Scott Gaynor and his ebay store, I received my 117th m113 today. Extra special thanks for the careful shipping to avoid potential damage.

This Tris Speaker version, with him facing towards the left was released in Sept 1912. It was the first of two different pictures used for Speaker m113s, the other version has him... facing right.

I had it on my "might not exist" list due to never having seen one in my 20 years or so of looking.

With thanks to the most recent The Collector Connection auction of the Carl Frysinger collection, here is variation #3 of the Robin Roberts version 1 (of 2) m114. It's the 1,427th m114 in my collection.

I'm getting far enough along in my dating of the m114 posters to say with confidence that his three posters were released in Dec 1949, Dec 1951 and Dec 1956

If anybody has this one (with the font about 1/2 inch below the picture) that is not autographed, I'll trade you straight across for my autographed one.

I received my "Puck Variation" Walter Johnson Arm m113 today.

I'm still interested in acquiring yours Paul.

[doug.goodman]

Did some measuring today and found these differences on the pictures on the Johnson Arm posters :

Two loop versions
m113 Johnson version #2 (there are 2 variations of name placement)
Both pictures measure 8.75 X 18 inches

One loop version, caption on right
m113 Johnson version #3
Picture measures 8.75 X 17.5

One loop version, caption on left
m113 Johnson version #4
Picture measures 8.5 X 17


By the way, m113 Johnson version #1 (with 2 variations) is vertical and shows him throwing while wearing a sweater.

[doug.goodman]

With thanks to Steve and his team at Collect Auctions, I added a completely new Archer m113 caption to my collection yesterday.

My previous Archers only had a right hand caption, this one also has a left caption.

I'm up to 121 m113 posters.

I'm still looking for these that I know exist :
Cardinals Team
Walter Johnson in sweater
Marty O'Toole
Victor Saier
Frank Schulte

And these that I'm not sure :
Braves Team
Pirates Team
Wally Schang
Bob Shawkey
Jimmy Sheckard
White Sox Team
