This 1909-13 M101-2 Sporting News Supplement features the legendary Grover C. Alexander in his iconic windup, ready to deliver a strike for the Philadelphia Athletics. This piece is a remarkable example of early baseball art, capturing Alexander’s focused expression, mitt, and cleats in exquisite detail. While it carries a PSA POOR 1 grade, its rarity is amplified by the distinctive Ad Back featuring the phrase "DO YOU WANT," along with a list of 75 baseball action photos. According to the PSA population report, it is one of only two known examples graded PSA 1 (the highest grade out there), making it an exceptionally scarce and exclusive find. This supplement, with its rare backing and historical significance, offers a unique glimpse into baseball's golden age.
