In 1916 published Felix Mendelsohn produced two series of black and white photographic baseball cards that were designed with blank backs and also offered to a variety of companies with their advertisements on the reverse. The different sets have become extremely popular among type card collectors hobbyists building back runs and set collectors alike. Long underrated the challenge of completion coupled with the added layers of rarity associated with the various backs have increased collector interest particularly as type collecting becomes more popular. In addition to offering a number of different advertising backs from these two issues our Summer 2015 auction includes a large number of Hall of Famers and key cards with the tougher Famous & Barr advertisement on the reverse. The St. Louis clothing retailer was an early customer of Mendelsohn's M101-5 issue and continued with the M101-4 series. Buck Weaver is one of the most widely collected non-HOFers of his era due primarily to his role in the 1919 White Sox scandal. Depicted three years prior to the events of that season Weaver is posed as if to have just thrown the ball except the ball is still gripped in his throwing hand. Despite this the image is still attractive and the card graded VG 40 by SGC is one of the more appealing in the set - certainly one of its key non-HOFers.
