Description

1899-1900 M101-1 Sporting News John "Honus" Wagner BVG Authentic. This auction features an almost unheard of complete set of these rare and fragile supplements. Offered is a key to the series - John "Honus" Wagner when he still playing for the Louisville Colonels. Issued August 19, 1899, this rare supplement depicts the future all-time great via a unique portrait in his formal best when he was just 25 years old. It pre-dates every card of Wagner including his W600 cabinet cards. There are a few tears but no creasing. As seen, the bottom right portion of the otherwise full-sized fragile paper supplement has been hand cut away. With intact examples auctioning into the high five-figures this is a prime opportunity to add this rare Wagner that is dozens of times rarer than his famous T206 card. Encapsulated BVG Authentic-Altered.

Guide Value or Estimate: $10,000 - up.

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These Auctions are presented via catalog and online. Bidding is taken through our website or via phone. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:15, the new end time for that lot would become 10:45. If no other bids were placed before 10:45, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
