-13 M101-2 Sporting News Supplements advice

[71buc]

I am looking for assistance in assessing the potential value of five 1909-13 M101-2 Sporting News Supplements that I found in a local antique shop. I know very little about these in this condition. The dealer is asking for 300.00 for the five. High grade examples of these are obviously very valuable. However, I cannot find comparable sales of these items in the condition I have described below. Is the 300.00 asking price reasonable considering the condition? The Cobb, Lajoie, and Mathewson are in the best shape which still is poor at best. Before I spend 300.00 I thought I would reach out to those who have more knowledge than I. I don't have any M101-2s in my collection and would like to add one but don't want to get burned. Sorry that I don't have scans but my descriptions should give a decent idea of their condition. Thanks in advance.



Young, Criger: Multiple creases, two one inch tears, and missing a two inch piece of the lower left corner

Mathewson: Multiple creases (fold Lines), two one inch tears, no paper loss

Cobb: Multiple creases (fold Lines), two one inch tears, no paper loss

Lajoie : Multiple creases (fold Lines),a one inch tear, and a pin hole through his eye
