I read the article on the M101-4 & M101-5 sets yesterday in the new issue of SMR. This is a set that I think is extremely underrated, so I was very excited to see it get some coverage. This is the only set that I know of from that era that contains all of the following legends (during their playing years):
- Babe Ruth (rookie card)
- Ty Cobb
- Honus Wagner
- Joe Jackson
- Jim Thorpe (his only card as a professional baseball player)
In addition to these names, the set also contains a whole slew of HOF players like Walter Johnson, Nap Lajoie, George Sisler, etc. And for those of you who like rare cards - there are lots of different back advertisement variations, with (as the article stated) some being very hard to track down.
I know we don't post many PreWar baseball threads here, but I thought this was a cool one to share.
Here is one of my favorties from the set that I was able to pick up:
- Babe Ruth (rookie card)
- Ty Cobb
- Honus Wagner
- Joe Jackson
- Jim Thorpe (his only card as a professional baseball player)
