Just like T206s, I see M101-4/5 rare front back combinations exploding in value. It's such a great set with not just the Ruth rookie but a fantastic representation of other HOFers and stars. Backs such as Mail Theatre, Everybody's, Block & Kuhl, Wares, Holmes to Homes, Successful Farming and some Gimbels straight letter variations are incredibly rare and have yet to be valued appropriately. Plus, I love the actual photographic images rather than lithographs.

Agreed, Jay. We talk about it all the time. Only upside for these cards under appreciated for many years. Don't forget the short prints pulled early for various interesting reasons..
