In my uneducated opinion I believe the 1916 M101-4/5 set does not get the proper respect. Outside the hype of the Ruth Rookie Card and the Joe Jackson Card there is a big drop off to the rest.

This set is fantastic because

1. It is upward of 40 HOFer's in the Set including
Grover Alexander, Home Run Baker, Dave Bancroft, Chief Bender, Roger Bresnahan, Mordecai Brown, Max Carey, Frank Chance, Eddie Collins, Charles Comiskey, Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford, Johnny Evers, Red Faber, Clark Griffith, Harry Hooper, Miller Huggins, Hughie Jennings, Walter Johnson, Nap Lajoie, Connie Mack, Rabbit Maranville, Rube Marquard, John McGraw, Eppa Rixey, Wilbert Robinson, Ed Roush, Ray Schalk, George Sisler, Casey Stengel, Joe Tinker, Honus Wagner, Bobby Wallace, Ed Walsh, and Zach Wheat.
2. Great Photo's used for the set (many earlier sets were either not photo's or just head shots etc)
3. Had many of the Famed Black Sox's in the set Eddie Cicotte, Chick Gandil, Buck Weaver, and Happy Felsch
4. So many different Ad Backs so there are so many versions/variations to collect. (including he Sporting News, Altoona Tribune, Gimbel’s Department Stores, Standard Biscuit, Weil Baking Company, Greene Joyce, Holmes to Homes, Famous and Barr, Herpolsheimer Co, Successful Farming) just to name a few
5. Approx 200 Different players,

So many ways to collect and so many great players
