Need help with my m101 research.

[nolemmings]

I am trying to confirm the existence of as many m101-4/5 ad-back combinations as possible–so far at a little over 1400. I therefore would greatly appreciate any front-back scans you could post, pm or e-mail me. Condition does not matter, even trimmed cards are OK so long as I can see the card number. At this time, I am not needing any Famous & Barr or Herpolsheimer scans, as very near sets of each were sold in the last couple of years, thus confirming the existence of all but a handful or so of those cards. I also do not need blank-back scans, as we already know that both m101-4 and 5 have been sold as complete sets.

I am confirming each card by using the PSA and SGC pop reports, except for Sporting News because, like T206, so many backs were simply lumped into that category back in the day. Standard Biscuit and Weil Baking pops aren’t perfect either, as they sometimes include the 1917 E135-like cards. Other than pop reports, I am relying on scans–I’ve collected between 1500-1600, but many of those are blank backs, which are unnecessary for the current project.

Because I have used the pop reports, I likely have accounted for most slabbed cards from the major two TPGs, although I am looking for slabbed Sporting News backs. However, the raw cards are often off the radar, and while I have borrowed many of your scans posted here over the years, I know there are lots in collections that have not been shown or that I neglected to capture in my database, and those are what I would really like to see (along with Beckett and GAI cards).

Please, scans of ad-back m101-4 and m101-5s (I need both front and back) would be very helpful!! These include: Altoona Tribune; Block& Kuhl; Burgess-Nash; Everybody’s; Gimbels, Globe; Green-Joyce; Holmes-to-Homes; Indianapolis Brewing; Mall Theatre; Morehouse Baking; Sporting News; Standard Biscuit; Successful Farming, Ware’s Basement and Weil Baking. Thanks in advance.

Great project Todd. Can I assume you have cataloged most of my backs as well as other frequent posters on this board? I am glad to help in any way I can...

[nolemmings]

Thanks Leon. Yes I have used several of your scans--THANKS, but I need to know (and preferably get scans of) who is on the front of those cards. I think your site has some of them, but I know I don't have your Burgess-Nash, Gimbels, Globe, Morehouse, Indy Brewing and Successful Farming.

Add Block & Kuhl and Sporting News to that.

[ScottFandango]

What were the few scans of Famous and Barr's you were missing? I have some highest graded 1 of 2's that were not involved in that near set sale...

Sure thing Todd.....I will see what I can do for you....

[nolemmings]

Thanks Leon.

Scott, I don't seem to have (or can't presently find) front-back Famous & Barr scans of Gibson, Hoblitzell, Howard, James, Jones, Lavan, and Schalk from m101-5 and Veach, Vitt and Viox from m101-4. Also any other m101-4 F&Bs that may exist numbered before Turner and after Walker.

I'm kind of anal about having matching scans--I have a couple of slabbed front scans that I don't "count" because I do not have the back to confirm that the grading company got it right--certainly with Sporting News but with F&B also.

Todd,

Here are a few that I have. I may be able to find more, but I think the other few are graded. I did not realize until I went to scan these that the Demaree has an upside down back...

I have a few of those and will scan them soon for you (back and front)

Hope these scans can help.

I've got two more Gimbels, but they aren't where they are supposed to be. But I have got these on hand:

[nolemmings]

Continued thanks guys. Check those raw cards--I know there's more out there.

Here's one I've owned for many years but don't believe I have posted before.
