Lot #152:

M113 Baseball Magazine Ad

Baseball Magazine ad for their Posters we know as M113/M114. This is a page from National Magazine, measuring approximately 6 1/4" x 9 1/2". The back of the page is dated in pencil Jan. 1912, presumably from when it was cut. The ad offers eight different posters, oddly not all are checklisted for 1912, further there is no known checklist for 1911, and only two subjects offered in 1910, leading us to believe this might be the eight and only ones offered in 1911. Further, the ad states they measure a whopping 12" x 20" which may be why we find no survivors due to their extreme size and thin paper stock.

Players offered were: Cobb, Lord, Chance, Jennings, Wagner, Mathewson, Evers and Baker. A very nice item to complement a Baseball Magazine collection.
