1916 Successful Farming

[Luke]

Has anyone here searched through through the magazines to see if there are any ads for the cards? I bought 11 of the 12 magazines from 1916 and started to comb through them, but it's a slow slog. Wondered if anyone knows whether I'll find anything or not.

Thanks in advance!

Here you go--from the May edition, and the only one I have found from any of the 1916 magazines:



REA sold the promo set as a group back in 2012:

Goodwin sold another set of them individually a year or so later, but failed to list that they were promo cards. Those are the only two sets known, although I have seen a single Alexander card also.

Thank you Todd!

Have you looked through all the issues carefully? If not, I can plan to do that.

I looked pretty carefully though them ten years ago or more. I have the entire 1916 group in a hard-bound book about three feet from me right now. As you know, the magazines are chock-full of ads, many of them smallish. I did not see another ad for the cards, and certainly not one the size of what I posted. After the Summer it seemed less and less likely that one would appear so I probably didn't look as closely at those, but hey, who knows? Feel free to find another-- I absolutely wish you the best of luck.

P.S. The ad is found on page 45, if you want to save time.

Since every thread deserves a card, here is my promo card of Home Run Baker:
