I collect the Standard Biscuits that look like the Famous & Barr type cards and have about 15 of these. I think they are called D350-1. Frank Ward explained all of the various combinations on here many years ago, but I still don't fully understand the designations. The grading companies avoid the confusion by not referring to any set designation.

Nice Wags--real nice.
The Standard Biscuits are really not that hard to tell apart. They are designated in correct chronological order: 1916 for D350-1; 1917 for D350-2 and 1921 for D350-3. The D350-1s are noticeably smaller, and the other two are distinguished by whether they are numbered or not. They are easily distinguishable even with only a front or back scan, since the larger two state that they have either 200 in the set (D350-2) or 80. Here are the smaller D350-1s: (corresponds to m101-5) (corresponds to m101-4)

Todd,
So, these two Crawfords correspond to the m101-5 set. And the Standard Biscuit with #42 on the front is called D350-1, but there is or could be a Crawford with #41 on the front and this would also be designated D350-1, unless we started using the notation you suggested D350-1-1 and D350-1-2. I think I got it. Thanks FBcrawford.jpgFBcrawfordb.jpg SBcrawford.jpgSBcrawfordb.jpg |

Just my rotten luck. I have the rarer reverse version as my only D350-3. By the way, I punched the star myself to indicate Maranville's HOF status.

Adam I'll go along with Rhett (definitely the one on this board I feel has the best handle on all the E121 variants) in that you have the easier back to come by. Definitely not many D350-3 cards floating around. Here I have re-posted my Maranville with the other, less common, back, perhaps this time a little sharper?
4 years later and I still think I did a good thing by punching that little star in the upper right. Brian |
