The D329 Weil Baking issue shares a checklist with M101-4 and is another in a fairly long line of truly hard-to-find variants in the pool of issues derived therefrom. The extreme scarcity of the D329 Weil Baking issue is eclipsed by only a few of the 22 different M101-4 and M101-5 related sets produced by Felix Mendelsohn in 1916. Though the New Orleans-based H. Weil Baking Co. was a steady issuer of cards in the 1910s and 1920s, the survival rate for these is minuscule. Hall of Famers from the issue are desirable, regardless of condition, with the top-tier Hall of Famers commanding significant premiums.

Offered here is the Rookie Card of one such Hall of Famer, Eppa Rixey, Jr., who is depicted on this example as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies. Rixey spent the first 8 years of his career in Philadelphia, winning 87 games, but missing the 1918 season to serve in the military during WWI. He spent his final 13 seasons with the Reds, adding 179 more wins to his resume, finishing with 266 in his Cooperstown-worthy career.

This card is centered just south on the canvas, though some minor diamond cutting leaves the top right corner just a hair higher than the left. Rounded corners and soft edges are consistent with the grade, however the scarcity of this issue far outweighs any cosmetic flaws on this example.

SGC has only ever graded 4 total examples of this D329, with only TWO receiving a higher grade than the Good 2 offered here of Hall of Famer Eppa Rixey, Jr.
