John SGreat question Henry. The M101-2's are amongst my favorites. The entire set was auctioned (individually) on eBay a few weekends ago and I was surprised at some of the ending prices. Many semi-stars went for over $100 and the big HOF'ers went in the $300-$400 range (Jackson and Cobb/Wagner went even higher). I was glad to see that the issue is finally starting to garner some attention from collectors. Not too long ago common players in decent shape could be had for under $10.
As stated by prvious posters, they are not as simple to store as a standard sized issue. In addition, they are not being graded by any company as far as I know (a negative for some collectors). Regarding the general population, they are not as difficult as M101-1's but at times not a single one is listed on eBay so I wouldn't say that they are easily attained.
I would like to see an article featuring M101-2's in a future edition of Old Cardboard. I am specifically interested in the ad backs which are extremely rare. I picked this one up on eBay a couple years ago.
