Any info is appreciated in trying to identify this card. It's about 3x5 or 4x6....( PC sized )......the back is blank as far as I know...it is in glass and sealed with tape according to the owner and there is a group of around 15. Could they be cut down M101's? or other premiums cut down? The other 2 I have seen are Hank Severeid and Ty Cobb...they sort of look like a Washington Times to me but aren't....

Looks like a Sporting News, M101-6. It should be a little bigger than an exhibit (4.5" x 6.5").

That's a one of one black border oversized T206 Honus Wagner mislabled as "Sam Rice." I've seen the fiber analysis on that card. The printing press to make that card cost $2,000,000.00 Oops, sorry wrong thread.

100% Sure that is a trimmed side to side M101-6 Sporting news. Check your book. Neat card.

PS Has the Mendelson stamp on bottom right as well.
