Beautiful photograph of Hall of Famer Frank Chance, as distributed on September 2, 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 some wear - particularly damage to each of the corners, as well as a bit of the top border torn out where the date of publication was originally printed - the rest of this offering has tremendous eye appeal. The details on this photo are spectacular, particularly the pinstriping of Chance's uniform and his gorgeous glove.

While the piece does have some faint edge wear as is common with this set due to the fragile nature of the paper upon which they were printed, 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 7 total examples of this 1909-13 M101-2 Sporting News Supplement, with only TWO receiving a higher grade than the Poor 1 offered here of Hall of Famer Frank Chance.
