Graded FAIR 1.5 by PSA. Rarely offered example of an M101-2 Sporting News supplement featuring Hall of Famer Roger Bresnahan. This sepia-tone premium set was issued with the Sporting News between the years 1909 and 1913. Each premium was issued on only a single day (July 22, 1909, in this case) and is dated in the upper right or left. Their method of issue and the thin paper stock on which they are printed make these unusual and striking premiums particularly susceptible to damage. This example has a flawless image of Bresnahan in his catching gear. Downgraded largely due to an unobtrusive vertical fold line. This is a visually appealing example that represents a relatively affordable opportunity to acquire a card-related Bresnahan supplement dating from his playing days. Dimensions: approximately 7 x 10 inches. Opening Bid $200.
