One of the toughest back variations to find from the M101-4/5 group of sets and a Hall of Fame player to boot! "Wahoo Sam" Crawford was the Deadball Era Babe Ruth, widely cited as its most powerful slugger and toughest hitter pitchers would face. While its PSA PR 1 grade reflects residue and paper loss from being removed from an album, the front image remains strong and clear. The population report shows just 10 total Holmes to Homes cards graded and this is its only Crawford!

M101-4 and M101-5 are sets Mendelssohn created with 200 ballplayers of the mid-1910s. Card backs often featuring ads from a range of stores and companies, no doubt for their own marketing purposes. Contemporary advertising shows some stores giving groups of cards away as an incentive for in-person shopping and others sold their sets by mail order.
