Merry Christmas Mathewson!

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>Few people realize that Mathewson's real name was Christmas. It's true. You could look it up on Google or Wikipedia. But I wouldn't. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1198553141.JPG"> <br><br>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <br />Visit <a href="http://www.t206collector.com" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.t206collector.com</a> for my T206 blog, card galleries, articles and more...<br />

Posted By: <b>Martin Neal</b><p>Merry Christmas and beautiful cards everyone. Dan, why did that Hindu backed Mathewson portrait grade only fair? That's a great card.

So I put in a handful of matty /or postcard /or memorabilia guys.<br /><br />Thankfully - you have your photo on your site - I had to have you in there.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Dan Kravitz</b><p>Not sure, I think SGC has their head up their a** sometimes. I think it was in a PSA 3 holder, but SGC holders looks much nicer! Doesn't matter to me, cause it's not going anywhere.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I think that is a card in which I would get a 2nd opinion from SGC, if you ever go to sell it. Even if there were paper chipping on blank areas (which I doubt there is) this card is not a FR card....It's at least a GD and maybe VG.....Just my opinion from the scan.....btw, SGC will listen to what you have to say concerning stuff. Sometimes they agree and sometimes they don't <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14> ....<br /><br /><br />edited to add.....Nice work on the Matty PC, Joe....

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Rob - I find the dark cap variation much tougher then the white cap version, which you never see for sale.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Steve Dawson</b><p>Regarding Dan K's T206 Matty Hindu, the reason for the low grade is probably the paper loss on the lower-right corner of the back. Here's a copy of a full Hindu back:<br /><br /><img src="http://i14.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/cc/1b/1d96_1.JPG"><br /><br />Notice the right edge of the banner and the border...they're missing on Dan's Matty.<br /><br /><br />Steve

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Nice catch on Dan K's card. That amount of paper loss and he's lucky for the 20.....Still a beautiful card.....

Posted By: <b>Randy Trierweiler</b><p>Did anybody actually google "Christmas Mathewson" like I did? I think T206 collector fooled everybody into believing that. Or, maybe everybody else knew he was joking and I didn't.
