D350 Standard Biscuit Overview

The American Card Catalog identified two different Standard Biscuit sets as D350 issues. Since then, a third has been discovered.

The first set includes smaller/thinner cards measuring about 3″ tall and a little bigger than 1 1/2″ wide and were M101-4 and M101-5 cards. The second set measures around 2″ x 3 1/4″. The third set measures approximately the same but includes a different border design. The third set also does not include card numbers on the front while the other two do.

The three types are shown here in the pictures – Type 1 is first, Type 2 is in the middle, and Type 3 is last.

All three utilize slightly different backs but each includes the Standard Biscuit Company name and an advertisement of sorts for the set. The company was based out of San Francisco, California.

The cards also utilized designs/layouts similar to other sets. Specifically, the three types of Standard Biscuit cards are similar to the sets below (among others):

D350-1 Standard Biscuit: M101-4/M101-5
D350-2 Standard Biscuit: E135
D350-3 Standard Biscuit: E121

D350 Standard Biscuit Checklists

While all D350 Standard Biscuit cards have not been discovered with the same cards in the checklist for the sets that they mimic above, we can have an idea of what the checklists could include.

For that reason, I have provided checklists for those issues below for each of the three D350 Standard Biscuit sets with the assumption that Standard Biscuit-backed cards could be found for those players listed.
