Thanks for viewing my item!About The Set: The 1916 M101-4 & M101-5 Baseball Card sets were produced by a sole printer named Felix Mendelsohn, from Chicago, and were sold indivicually in blank-back form, and also used as a marketing tool for various companies, who would then stamp their company brand on the backs of the cards. The detailed in the photography used to manufacture the cards are what make them stand apart from other vintage pre-war sets. Blank backs and backs used to market the Sporting news are among the most common variation, whereas other backs such as the Green-Joyce departments store and Holmes to Homes bread company were extremely limited in production, and as such are very rare. In this sense, the M101-4 & M101-5 sets are similar to the 1909-11 T206 White border tobacco card set. However M101-4 and M101-5 were not nearly as wide-spread, and therefore can be more difficult to come by.Below is a list of from psacard.com of the different backs produced for the set, and their total PSA graded population reports (as of September, 2013). It should be noted that from the list below, the blank back varieties are grouped under "Sporting News", even though the blank backed cards from the set had nothing to do with the news company:1916 M101-4 & M101-5 Baseball Cards SummarySet NameTotalAltoona Tribune6Block & Kuhl Co. 16Burgess-Nash Co.2D329 Weil Baking Co.70D381 Fleischmann Bakery3Famous & Barr Co. 419Green-Joyce7H801-9 The Globe Clothing 89Herpolsheimer Co.84Holmes To Homes Bread3Indianapolis Brewing Co.18M101-4 Gimbels 28M101-4 Sporting News1, 971M101-5 Sporting News 928Morehouse Baking3Mothers' Bread (D303)2Standard Biscuit57Successful Farming3Ware's7TOTAL (GRADED BY PSA)3716Some of the key cards in the set include Babe Ruth's rookie card (one of his most valuable cards), Joe Jackson, Walter Johnson, Nap Lajoie, Jim Thorpe, Honus Wagner, and many other Hall of Famers and key rookie cards.
