Does anyone have any sort of pop for these cards. And can someone also explain the extreme price difference between say a mediocre HOFer and the big guys aka wagner jackson and cobb?

Thanks, Henry Eshelman

You're right Henry, major price gap. My guess is that, Unlike little T cards, the storage/display requirements of these large prints makes it a hassle to collect the non-stars.

I agree, they are more like a display piece. I do not collect them, but if I were to display one or two, I would certainly migrate towrards the big name players.

Speaking as someone who has all the M101-2s except three of those mega-expensive ones , I think it's clear that very few collectors are seeking the complete set, due to size, condition, or display issues. But almost anyone could accommodate a photo with Cobb and Wagner in it, or a Shoeless Joe. In my view the commons are undervalued, rather than the tough cards overvalued.

Great question Henry. The M101-2's are amongst my favorites. The entire set was auctioned (individually) on eBay a few weekends ago and I was surprised at some of the ending prices. Many semi-stars went for over $100 and the big HOF'ers went in the $300-$400 range (Jackson and Cobb/Wagner went even higher). I was glad to see that the issue is finally starting to garner some attention from collectors. Not too long ago common players in decent shape could be had for under $10.

As stated by prvious posters, they are not as simple to store as a standard sized issue. In addition, they are not being graded by any company as far as I know (a negative for some collectors). Regarding the general population, they are not as difficult as M101-1's but at times not a single one is listed on eBay so I wouldn't say that they are easily attained.

I would like to see an article featuring M101-2's in a future edition of Old Cardboard. I am specifically interested in the ad backs which are extremely rare. I picked this one up on eBay a couple years ago.

An under appreciated set in my book. I bought this in 1995 and had it matted & framed.
