Beautiful photograph of Hall of Famer Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown, as distributed on December 9, 1909 by the Sporting News as part of an issue that featured 100 different supplements distributed between 1909 and 1913. As PSA begins to grade more examples from the issue, their scarcity becomes more apparent, as each supplement was, essentially, issued on one day and then became part of history. As such, the keys from this issue have become quite sought after in any grade.

This offering has been well-preserved and is now protected in a PSA slab. Despite exhibiting age-related wear - particularly some light edge wear and tiny pinholes in each of the corners - the rest of this offering has tremendous eye appeal.

The details on this photo are spectacular, particularly the shadows within the image and the gorgeous bokeh leaving the background out of focus while Brown is perfect clear.

While the piece does have some tape remnants on the back, presumably from a previous life inside a scrapbook or photo album, this image is still extremely presentable and would make for an excellent display. An outstanding document, particularly interesting to Cubs or Hall of Fame collectors.

PSA has only ever graded 11 total examples of this 1909-13 M101-2 Sporting News Supplement, with only seven receiving a higher grade than the Poor 1 offered here of Hall of Famer Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown.
