Are loose transogram figures worth anything?

Could you by chance to a picture and post it and tell us a little about it?

Thanks

I'm guessing that may be an M101-2 Sporting News team supplement.

Bob is correct! 1912 Red Sox Sporting News supplement. One of the players on the team (Hugh Bedient) is from my (small!) hometown, so I pick up any items of his when I find them.

As Mark mentions, they really didn't try to make the faces resemble the players they are representing. They did get the gloves on the correct hand, and did try to produce skin tones that are (somewhat) ethnically correct. As far as I am aware, they produced no figures in a batting stance (not sure why!). Multiple fielding poses and pitching poses. I took the front off the case for a slightly better picture - you can see the team insignias and cap insignias, but as someone mentioned you can't tell it is Pete Rose next to Clemente next to Johnny Callison (losing a fly ball in the lights?) in the top left corner, but you can probably make inferences looking at the fronts.

Anyway, happy collecting!

I have the cubs set Williams, Santo, and Banks. Have to put Santo on a base for now he is just sitting on the bench. Have some good players Clemente, Aaron, Seaver, brooks Robinson, etc. I have reassembled quite a few out of the boneyard. Unfortunately I am not always sure I put the right torso on the legs. The pictures posted will help with that. These are put together with torso, two arms, legs as one unit a head and a hat.
