Who wants to identify these?

Brett- recently I purchased a blank back McQuillan Cinn. (one of the 2 rarest cards in the set). It was listed as being a proof but it is not, just as I believe that your Collins and Wagners are not either, merely blank backs. I keep hearing that supposedly there was an ad sheet which contained M116s, but I do not think there is any proof to substantiate this. I am at a loss to explain why the McQuillan variation would pop up on an ad sheet since it was obviously produced very late in the series, he and 1 other card being team changes, thus accounting for their rarity. I guess perhaps Lipset might know the answer to that one. As far as proofs go, I bought a black and white blank backed M116 Mitchell the other day and I DO believe this one is a proof. I have never seen one before and when it comes back from GAI, I'll put the scan on the board.
