The Matty black cap is probably my favorite T206, and it was the first card I purchased when getting back into the hobby.

It's a fascinating card for a few reasons. I posted a thread about this particular card many years ago, along with some images that show two variations. I can't locate the thread, but I have the images on an external drive and will put them here when located. I was lucky enough to obtain a huge group of beautiful ungraded T206's, mostly HOF'ers, from a find that Cy was involved in, and there were 5-6 Matty black caps.

The great thing about this image is that it generally looks good even if the registration is off to the left or right, as long as the colors are bold. This one doesn't have perfect registration either, but I love the colors:
