1916 Everybody's origins uncovered-- thanks Jason!

Great work and discovery Todd. Not that you haven't thought of this already, but since it now appears that "sets" of 20 were distributed for ten weeks, are there enough examples from this series in circulation to determine which back variation match up with the fronts. I mean were there really four (or more) printings of this set ordered, or is it a case of a lazy typesetter using slightly different fonts figuring the customer (Everybody's) wouldn't notice or care.

Where & how did you find the old newspaper? It seems it would be like looking for a needle in haystack!

what an exciting find!!!
You are quite the researcher.
Seeing this area of baseball scholarship illuminated step by step is what draws me again and again to this hobby.
congrats and many thanks,
all the best to you, todd

Nice work Todd. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting that the ad highlights Eddie Collins #34 as the big draw in the second group of 20 when Cobb #38 would have presumably also been in that group.
