Baseball Magazine supplements : 2017 different.

[doug.goodman]

Happy to add these two (and some others) bringing my total to 1,370 different m113 and m114 posters.

The new Gil Hodges is the one in the middle of the five variations I have (so far), see how huge his name is compared to the others.

The newest Jackie Robinson is the one on the bottom of the three variations, note how the bottom of the 'J' is level with the other letters, while it dips below them on the other two posters.

A brand new one removed from my want list today, woohoo!

m114 #1,270

I picked up a group of 275+ m114 posters in the most recent Lelands auction.

After scanning them all, and comparing them to what I already have, I was VERY happy to add 31 new ones to my collection (all caption variations, no new pictures, or needed players).

I was also happy to upgrade 37 others.

A couple of examples are :

Bartell - look at how the words 'Baseball' and 'New York' line up on the left side of the captions.

McCarthy - the new one is on the bottom, note the font of the letters 'N' and 'K' compared to the other two.

I now have 1,324 different m114 posters, to go along with my 103 m113s.

I saw that lot and wondered if you were going to grab that, congrats on the upgrades/new variations.

Great haul, congrats Doug!

Thanks guys.

Large groupings are always a crap shoot, especially due to the esoteric nature of my needs or wants, which are largely caption variations that few (if any) care about other than myself.

Generally speaking I don't even know that they exist until I discover them, and frequently the scans in an auction or sale aren't good enough quality to tell the difference for the limited number of posters that are usually shown.

There were only 5 posters pictured in this lot (less than 2%), so I was quite happy when nearly a quarter of the posters were ones I "needed".

I just picked up a couple other smaller groups which I should have next week, hopefully they contain a similar % of new ones for me.

Doug:

Saw these at the Philly show:
