Outstanding high-grade card from a beautiful six-card postcard issue issued as a premium in 1913 by the Sporting News.  This is the highest-graded of 13 specimens assessed by SGC; PSA has graded just two additional, none higher than EX 5, making this the highest-graded known example.  What's more, is that no other example of any M101-3 Sporting News card of any player has been graded higher by either PSA or SGC, making this the highest-graded example known.  Bear in mind, of course, that the issue is particularly scarce - between PSA and SGC combined, just 103 cards have been graded - but this is the only one to attain an EX/MT grade.
