matty and overprint my top ten cards of all time....
btw........your matty proof is one of a handful of very special "proto type" proofs...cards that never made it into the set.........cards that were not part of the final production card...
the matty is one of them..as I'm sure you know..8 unknown (now known) southern leaguers..also some from the first print group...nichols, shulte, alperman, pastorious, McIntyre, and the unissued collins..just WOW!!!.....that card ALONE is a small piece of history....basically part of the original designs of the set
my my.....
btw....hundreds of t206 proofs discovered was not the case!! I had spoke with one of the original collectors who purchased a few proofs and was there.....there were less than 80 or so t206 PROOFS that were brought to light at the '72 show.....about 33 of them are documented so far......the rest are either "lost" over the years or just tucked away in collectors who do not advertise them.....INCREDIBLE STUFF! the lines were omitted on the cap and not part of the original artwork....WOW!
the multi strike is basically the "T206 ROSETTA STONE".......
I can not express the sheer significance of these 2 cards on the set....
must have been tough to part with leon.....I wish I could afford either....
