Beautiful photograph of Hall of Famer Joe Tinker, as distributed on October 20, 1910 by the Sporting News as part of an issue that featured 100 different supplements distributed between 1909 and 1913. As the authenticating companies begin 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 condition.

This offering has been well-preserved, despite the fact it is not in a slab. While it does exhibit some age-related wear - particularly corner and edge wear - the rest of this offering has tremendous eye appeal. The details on this photo are spectacular, particularly the look of intense focus on Tinker's face as he awaits the approaching ball, and the beauty of the painted end cap on his bat.

While the piece does have some missing bits from the right edge and its corners, this image is still extremely presentable and would make for an excellent display. This 1909-13 M101-2 Sporting News Supplement of Hall of Famer Joe Tinker is an outstanding document, particularly interesting to Cubs or Hall of Fame collectors.
