Regarded among the finest large-format baseball collectibles in the early years of the 20th Century – and this in an era that included the remarkable T3 Turkey Red cabinet cards – the fabled M101-2 Sporting News Supplements feature sepia-toned images of professional players on a heavy cardboard stock, most typically with blank backs. The elegant roughly 8-by-9 3/4-inch photograph includes printing on a reversed type black box “Supplement to The Sporting News St. Louis, Sept. 22, 1910” on the top. The player’s name – in this instance Charles S. Dooin and “Philadelphia American League” – are printed in the same fashion on the bottom. Presented here is a BGS 1.5 (Fair) example of the series; the supplement is No. 43, though the cards themselves are unnumbered.
1909-13 Sporting News Supplements M101-2 Charles S. Dooin/Philadelphia-A/9/22/10 BGS 1.5
