M101-2 Sporting News Supplements: Gaining more attention, discuss

[puckpaul]

I agree that both will continue to be more appreciated and appreciate, and the M101-1 will garner more attention due to the rise and acceptance of M101-2. Personally I have been stunned by the beautiful imagery of some of the M101-2 set, many of which have been in rough condition due to size and paper stock, like the M101-1s have. In fact, i purchased the recent Grover Alexander “rookie” from that set and paid for it.

The majesty of the M101-1s in nice condition remains very underappreciated. The portraits are stunning in person. I had both of these Wagners in my collection for years. Never gave two thoughts about the M101-2 until the recent price realizations. There is still no comparison, not just because of the significance of Wagner’s first ML “card” appearance and biography, but because the image is so beautiful in person.

I have come to like the M101-2 much more lately than i had! (Mine does have some pencil notation on the back but the supplement is very well preserved).

Hoping the M101-2 success causes PSA to grade the M101-1s someday.
