M101-1's vs. W600's
 

Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>I am interested in finding out what collector's thoughts are on the 1899-1900 Sporting News M101-1 Supplements versus the 1902-11 Sporting Life Cabinet Cards? Many HOF'ers and non-HOF'ers appear in both issues and although the M101-1's were issued earlier, the W600's seem to far exceed them in prices realized although I believe the M101-1's are much more scarce. <br /><br />(I deleted my original final sentence above as my intent for this post was to compare these two issues and not rekindle the never-ending debate about what constitutes a "card". Sorry for the confusion caused by my wording of the original thread.)<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Do you not consider them a true card because of the size?

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Everyone will have their own ideas on this. For me, I don't consider 8 3/4 x 11 paper supplements to be cards. I do consider the W600's to be cards....so I would collect the latter but not the former. Both are neat...and the supplements do have the bio's on back so that's a plus...but still not cards to me... regards

Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>Yes Matt, primarily due to the size. Also, one is labeled as a Supplement and the other is widely recognized to be a Cabinet, even during the era that they were issued.

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>I believe the W600s were issued similarly to the way the M116s were, which, along with the size (5x7.5") and stock, is why I consider them to be cards.
