Description: Offered for your consideration... 1916 Sporting News/Felix Mendelsohn BOSTON BRAVES Team Set REPRINT ~ Near Mint condition Perfect for the Team Collector Original cards from this set are now more than a century old. 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 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: Johnny Evers ~ Rabbit Maranville ~ Joe Connolly ~ Geo. A. Davis, Jr. ~ Hank Gowdy ~ William James ~ Ed Konetchy ~ J. Herbert Moran ~ Dick Rudolph ~ Chas. Schmidt ~ J. Carlisle Smith ~ Fred Snodgrass ~ Geo. Stallings By 1915, Boston's "Hitless Wonders" world championship was a year removed and the club was in decline. Granted, it was just a one place slip but then another year saw another slip (to third) 'though the Braves actually improved their winning percentage from .546 to .586! Several of the championship Braves were still with the club when M101-5 was issued and their experience kept the club solidly in the first division. _______________________ Important: Shipping Information Our goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
