Posted By: <b>Bryan Long</b><p>I would take the T205, but if the chance was there you can't wrong with the M116.<br /><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b45/trib01/Christy%20Mathewson/m116cmathewson.jpg"><br />

Posted By: <b>Chad</b><p>They're all great cards. I'd probably go with the dark cap t-206, though. I like seeing the uniforms.<br /><br />--Chad

Posted By: <b>Bryan Long</b><p>You could find one of the M116 in the PSA 2 or 3 range for $400 or $500, but others may feel differently.

Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>From your list, T205 is pretty (I'm secure enough to say that); off list, the T206 dark cap is great (oops, it's on your list), and the s81 is one of my favorites..<br /><br /><img src="http://www.ettinger.ca/mattys81.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.ettinger.ca/mathewsonsmall.jpg"> (big avatar)

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>from the list, easily the t205. I have to admit to a slight bias towards it since it was one of the first t205s I ever bought. Cost me a whole $15 for EX one back in 1982.<br /><br />The m116 is also a great looking card.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>I'm incompetent at being incontenent.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Christy Matthewson's E102 (horiz) card. How can you beat<br />that colorful sunset behind his follow-thru pose.

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>Yep, and it's the same on the E101 and E92 I believe.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Anson<br /><br />You are right about the E92 being the exact pix of<br />Matty as the E102. I never have had an E101 Matty.<br />What does the back of the E101 look like ?

Posted By: <b>Julie Vognar</b><p>I,m with the E92 guys, because you get both face and motion....for the face alone you can't beat the T205 (T202).

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>Ted, <br /><br />Here's the E101 front and back. The front is identical to the E101 and E102. However, the back of the E101 is generic with no advertising. Notice that the end of the back ends in a comma, not a period. One theory is that this set was a test issue for the E92 set (the top part of the backs are identical). No advertising had been added (Dockman & Sons).<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1129945913.JPG"> <br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1129945982.JPG">

Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>Sorry Julie, I am postally inept. Plus I can not yet brag of ownership of such a prize.<br /><br />Our moderator, and I think Dan both have examples and are postal (that is not the machine gunning, lose our mail type) capable.<br /><br />If any of the above is clear, please advise me.<br /><br />And yes, it is commemorative, but spectacular. Well, in my humble opinion it clearly compliments all of the inadequacies which preceeded it. And artfully adds its own.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>ANSON<br /><br />Thanks for your pix of the Matty. I really appreciate it.<br /><br />It also reminded me of why I never collected E101 cards.<br />I already had quite a few E92's. The E101 fronts appeared<br />to be the same as the E92's, but the backs were anonymous.
