Black Betsy! Graded POOR 1 by PSA with an (mk) qualifier due to a prior owner's reverse stamp. Dated March 23, 1911, the offered 1909-1913 M101-2 Sporting News Supplement of (Shoeless) Joe Jackson was published just prior to the season in which the Cleveland star eclipsed 230 hits, swatted .408 and sported an incredible .468 on-base percentage! The ill-fated subject of legend is portrayed during simpler times on this 8x10 artifact which showcases crystal clear registration and overall majestic eye appeal. Reverse paper pulling/loss along each corner accounts for Jackson's overall assessment. This oversized supplement will certainly fill a massive void in the collections of "Black Sox" and pre-war enthusiasts. 27 total graded by the authenticator. Opening Bid $2,500.
