D350-3 Standard Biscuit

[Exhibitman]

How tough are these to find? I've read conflicting information so I am interested in members' opinions.

With my little bit of hunting and pecking I have seen them to be quite difficult. I paid a premium for this one several years ago..

Not impossible, but harder to find. That said, this card from the set is very hard to come by:

Easily the most difficult of the (3) Standard Buscuit backs. Little known is that there are actually 2 different backs with one of the backs being EXTREMELY hard to find, I have only confirmed a few different subjects from the second subset.

FYI, that Davenport PSA 1 Standard Biscuit card is a 1917 350-2 issue and has been inappropriarely labeled 1921 (it is NOT a 350-3). The 1921 ad back is much wider, filling most of the card, with a larger print font.

Joe,

Not meaning to be argumentative, but the series of 80 for the set is considered to be from 1921 and is considered the D350-3. The series of 120 is from 1917 and is considered the D350-2.

As for the year, I will defer to the Old Cardboard website on the matter, although I will state that Davenport's last season in the majors was 1919:

Actually, the D350-2 Standard Biscuit align with E135-- Collins-McCarthy, Boston Store, and Weil Baking (plus some blank-backs)-- and thus have 200 cards, as acknowledged on the card backs.

Apart from having 200 subjects, the easiest way to spot a D350-2 card is the fact that it is numbered like other E135s whereas the E121 family is not.

The Davenport is clearly not D350-2, as it references 80 photographs in the set and more importantly is unnumbered:

Brian, you are not being argumentative and that is exactly what I was telling you. The card you displayed is a 350-2 from 1917, NOT the 1921 (D350-3) designation PSA erroneosuly placed on the label. You definitely have a 1917 Standard Biscuit Davenport!
