Description: Offered for your consideration... 1916 Sporting News/Felix Mendelsohn PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS /A's Complete Team Set ~ All 7 Cards Issued REPRINT ~ Near Mint condition Perfect for the Team Collector The original cards from this set are now more than 90 years of age. Team sets - to say nothing of the full 200 cards - are not within the budgets of any but the well-heeled hobbyists among us. An excellent feature length article on this set and its companion (M101-4), produced by printer Felix Mendelsohn, appears in the Summer 2008 issue of Old Cardboard magazine. The cards are reproduced in the original (1-5/8" by 3") size and feature quality black and white action photographs. The backs are blank. Offered here is a COMPLETE TEAM SET. It is clearly marked REPRINT in the lower right, and is affordable by nearly all! If this team is your favorite - or contains a favored player or two - consider picking it up while it's available. ANY number of these team sets will ship for the single-set USPS Ground Advantage shipping cost IF the buyer will request and wait for a combined invoice before paying. Questions? Email us. Condition: Near-Mint to Mint Featured players include: Joe Bush ~ Napoleon Lajoie ~ Connie Mack ~ Jack [Stuffy] McInnis ~ Rube Oldring ~ Walter Schang ~ Amos Strunk The 1915-16 Philadelphia Athletics suffered through two of the toughest years any club ever endured. Despite still having some of the game's top players, age and youth did not mix well as the A's posted consecutive 8th place finishes with records of 43-109 and 36-117! (It would not be until 1922 that the Mackmen would rise above the cellar, but by 1929 - oh, brother - what a string of American League pennants! _______________________ Important: Shipping Information Our goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
