I have recently seen three 1909 Mathewson cards - the E92, the E101, and the E105 - all with the very same front picture - that beautiful horizontal arm extended throwing in front of a wonderful colorful sunset backdrop.
My knowledge is very limited in the caramel issues, but do the 3 issues indeed have the same front? Or am I looking at perhaps mis-labeled cards from PSA? Are there more e-designation Matty cards with the same front - maybe 4 or more?
What is the rarity ranking of all these Matty cards? And do they all have different backs (I assume, yes) - how do all the backs differ?
Thanks, steve
They all have the same front. The same front is also used for the E102 set. I believe the image is ever-so-slightly smaller on the E105s, but it is hardly noticeable.

You can also throw D303 and E106 in there for the matty horizontals. Personally I would rank them along with their set ranking, as to rarity.
Steve - I love the Matty horizontal image - I just upgraded mine and posted my old one on the BST for what it cost me, if you are looking to pick one up.

I'd add that even though the 4 E92 sets are all under the same ACC designation, they certainly are very different issues.

In addition to all the above caramel cards already mentioned as using this front, T-216 People's Tobacco (Kotton, MINO, VE) also use this Matty pose.

The Mello Mint is very sweet but that Kotton is truly amazing...:D. T216 is my second favorite issue. Kotton, Mino and Virginia Extra-doesn't get much better than than that.

David - that's brilliant - you probably can go all the way out with his arm for the perfect effect.

Maybe we can get Graig Kreindler to paint it!
