Posted By: <b>Ryan Christoff</b><p>Nothing? Really? Oh well. <br /><br />If anybody can answer within the next few hours it would be helpful for an auction description. If not, no big deal.<br /><br />-Ryan

Posted By: <b>Daniel Bretta</b><p>I tried to search the internet for something, but couldn't find anything. The only thing I could find on the internet with Matty on the cover was a 1908 cuban book from an old Leland's auction.

Posted By: <b>Trevor Hocking</b><p>I think its 1912 or something close but he is on the cover of a Police Gazette. I don't have an image or an exact date sorry. It is at home. H is also fetured on the cover of a Baseball Stars notebook. I hope this helps.<br /><br />Trevor Hocking

Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>I also have one of those notebooks, I think it is really neat. Found a shadow box it fits into nicely. When was that photo taken of Matty, same as his T206 cards.<br /><br />Lee

Posted By: <b>Trevor Hocking</b><p>Yah that's the same photo from my Baseball Stars Notebook as well but the photo takes up the whole cover. Thats is a great notebook Leon. I think the photo is a Conlon and around 1908 if memory serves me right. I might be wrong as I am not to good with photos.<br />Trevor

Posted By: <b>Trevor Hocking</b><p>If you are asking about the first photo posted, that's a photo of Christy Mathewson, actually all the pics are of Matty, and its a whole magazine. It's pretty neat too as it is over sized and displays well.<br />Trevor

Posted By: <b>Ryan Christoff</b><p>Thanks for the info, guys!<br /><br />I'll just describe it as one of the earliest magazines with Matty on the cover since it's hard to say definitively. I can't imagine there's anything earlier, though.<br /><br />If you're interested in seeing it, go to the BST section and I'll post a link to my auction rather than clogging up this part of the board. <br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />-Ryan
