E101 Matthewson/Mathewson Variation

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Miguel</b><p>I didn't realize until recently that there were two "E101 Set of 50" Christy Mathewson variations -- one with the correct spelling of Matty's name, and one with two T's (i.e., incorrect).<br /><br />I'm wondering if anyone could shed some light for me on the relative obscurity of each of the variations. I've done some searching and couldn't find anything, but I think the correct spelling may be more rare.<br /><br />Thank you in advance for any help!

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I believe that both the E90-1 and the E101, among others, spell it with the double "tt". In fact, a surprising number of Matty cards are misspelled.

Posted By: <b>Miguel</b><p>Oh dear! It looks like I am probably mistaken. The reason I had thought there was a "correct" spelled version of the E101 is because I was using vintagecardprices.com's catalog and there is a "Correct spell Mathewson" variation listed. On further inspection, that seems to be the only E101 Set of 50 Mathewson that's listed, so I think I've just fallen victim to an unclear descriptor on the VintageCardPrices site.<br /><br />My apologies for the trouble, and thanks for the quick responses in setting me straight!

We do that for all cards that have errors on them.<br /><br />
