I sold mine to a fellow board member not long ago. But I kept some scans.
Geez, Leon, knowing that you own this issue lets me know the hobby revolution has ended |

Here is a R302-1 from 1943 (as opposed to the R302-2 strip from '49 already shown) and they (at least their colors and drawing method) remind me a little bit of a later version of these...

Leon......pardon me if I correct you

If your scan here of Joe DiMaggio is it's true colors, then this card is cannot be a 1943 issue. The sky on the front is not a dark blue and the back printing is not blue; therefore, it must be an R302-2. DiMaggio's R302-1 and the R302-2 cards' bio is the same; however, the difference is that the R302-2 is numbered #105. So, I'm confused here as to which series your DiMaggio card is from ? TED Z .

Hi Collectorsince62
Thanks for posting your 1943 Cooper brothers cards.
So far, we have identified 14 players from the 1943 set....so, there are 10 more to go to complete the display of all 24. Continue posting your M.P. & Co. cards, guys. TED Z . |

One of the first pre-1950 sets I finished, and it wasn't all that easy. Almost all of them are either Authentic, Poor or Fair, except the DiMaggio which is a BVG 4.5.
I don't want to fill out the pictures since I have the set, but here is the Foxx: Also, I have seen variations in back ink color on both the 1943 and 1949 issues. the only consistent I see on the 1949 set is the presence of a card number on the back. I also will note that the orientation of the backs is all over the place. |

Love that one! I would have jumped on it in a second. Severe registration errors are my favorite.

1949 M. P. & Co (R302-2) cards........
Since Leon posted a 1949 M.P. & Co. partial strip of cards........let's talk about this subsequent issue. Six years after the 1943 strip cards were issued, M.P. & Co. produced a similar 25 card series. These cards differ in appearance from the 1943 series, in that the bios on the backs of these cards are printed in Black ink (instead of Blue ink). And, the sky color on the fronts is a pale light Blue. I guess, they ran out of dark Blue ink .... Hey guys, continue posting your 1943 cards....let's see if we can display all 24 subjects. We have attained the half-way point to this goal with 12 different cards TED Z . |

I love that set. It's the first "pre-war" set I ever completed, but even that is an issue. Those were the only set of cards issued during the war (other than exhibits) so they aren't technically pre-war.

That was the only NATIONAL set issued during the war. Yes, there were minor league sets and a few regional sets, but other than exhibits, The MP&Co is about the only game in town for major league. |
