Description

Presented is an attractive example of St. Louis Browns Hall of Famer George Sisler's rookie card from the M101-4 Sporting News series. The 1916 M101-4 set is one of the most highly regarded and comprehensive baseball-card sets of the era. The set is commonly referred to as issued by The Sporting News, but as most collectors know the set was actually issued by several different companies. Cards were printed with advertising for regional issuers as well as with blank backs. The offered card has a Sporting News advertising back. The M101-4 Sporting News set is recognized as one of the most significant of all prewar baseball-card issues. Bright and crisp, both front and back, with outstanding image contrast, honest corner wear, and excellent centering. Graded POOR 1 by SGC due to paper loss on the reverse. A worthy addition to even the most advanced George Sisler, Hall of Fame, or rookie-card collection!
