I just had to post since I am so thrilled at the find.

Altoona Tribune cards are one of the rare backs of the set. There was an Ed Walsh Altoona Tribune card in the last LoTG auction that was believed to be unique. Perhaps your Rixey card is as well. Cardtarget.com only shows four or five Altoona Tribune backs total sold among the entire set, one of which was a $40,000 Babe Ruth card.
IIRC, Old Cardboard lists the Altoona Tribune back as either one percent or less than one percent of the total population of M101-4/5s.
