I feel like M101-1 and M101-2 Sporting News are for completely different collectors. Prices vary significantly for each, as do the images. Both are amazing sets IMHO.
An 1899 Nap Lajoie M101-1 went for over $2K in August and was a BEAUTIFUL card. That same $2K has much more buying power of the M101-2 set. I personally love M101-2 because of the action images, which for their release between 1909 and 1913 made you feel like you were on the field watching a moment from a game, when games were much more difficult to get to in that time period.
That said, I foresee rising prices of M101-1 just like M101-2, if more could actually come to market like has been the case with M101-2 in recent years, and thus create more demand and buyers.
