M116 Sporting Life Scarcity Poll

Scott, isn't there like exactly one of each Bates and Seymour card?

Has anyone documented more than one of either?

Rob- I believe you are correct, one of each to my knowledge.

Thanks Bob.

Wouldn't that make them the scarcest two cards from any mainstream set?

If I ever complete my set, I think I'll be ok without those two...

At least to me, the Gaspar has to be a toughie. I've needed one for a long time and don't remember seeing one.

To my knowledge:

One Bates

One Seymour-regular card.

Two Seymours-not full production cards, Black and White(really just missing the color pass) with blank backs yet on regular stock. Both are hand cut.

I would think there should be more, Seymore is listed with Baltimore on one of the ad sheets I have where they could be ordered. I will have to double check Bates on the ads.

I surmise the two unfinished Seymours are probably printers scrap from when the card was pulled from production.

I would guess there are collectors with more of them, either under the radar or probably not even aware of the team variation.

Wow, 13 years later and I’m still looking for the McConnell Chicago variation lol 😂

A nice Speaker from the last series can be tough to find.
