Paul,
I do not doubt your ability to spot a fake here; however, I am curious as to what the red flag was. After digging through an old guide, I saw a picture of an M101 from 1916 which lacked an apostrophe in the line of text on the back which reads, "FIVE CENTS THE COPY." Granted, this listing read, "1916 Sporting News M-101-4" and the ebay auction is titled, "1918 M101-5." That said, something caught your eye and I would like to know what it was.
Please let me know. Thanks, in advance, for your help.
Best Regards,
Eric
