Great pick-up on the M101-1 Wagner. I was fortunate enough to own two of those over the years. I believe that I was also the first to have the M101-1's graded and encapsulated by Beckett back around 2010 as they were the only TPG at the time with holders large enough for them to fit.
This is a wonderful set, in conjunction with the National Copper Plate series, for collecting HOF rookies as it represents the earliest nationally distributed paper issue for numerous HOF'ers in addition to Honus:
Jack Chesbro
Hugh Jennings
Nap Lajoie
Fred Clarke
Joe Kelley **
Jimmy Collins **
John McGraw **
Willie Keeler **
Frank Chance
Elmer Flick **
Joe McGinnity
Rube Waddell
Bobby Wallace **
Vic Willis **
Cy Young
** Also appears in the 1898-99 National Copper Plate series
