I really like the M101-1 Sorting News Supplements. Not too many of each player out there. I would love to have a Young.
Your Beckett Authentic example is a great looking card, but it is kind of hard to declare it the “best” when it has been restored. I thought that one one in REA was a really nice example and is the only unaltered example that I am aware of.

I agree wholeheartedly on both the National Copper Plates (actually predate the Sporting News and the real rookie) and the M101’s, these are simply gorgeous cards when seen in person in nice condition. I have each of the Wagners in my sets of these, the Copper is bound in the original booklet in near perfect condition. The Sporting News is also in strong condition but has some minor wear on close inspection. Both are entirely unaltered.
I am sure it exists, but I have not seen another national copper plate wagner at all in my 33 years of collecting.
They are my favorite sets in my collection.
