If I had to stick to a strict budget, I'd probably go for some type cards, a t206 common, maybe a strip card or some sweet caporal pins. You could probably pick up one of each for $50 total.
Or go with a T206 Marquard, there are a few on ebay for $50

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll check 'em out!
Why do the strip cards always get graded "Authentic"... is it because they're hand cut or have I just missed those?

They were all hand cut, so most get authentic grades, but not all. It's in my personal collection, but I have a real nice Ross Youngs rookie graded a 5/60. Guess some people back then were just better at cutting on a dotted line

cards under $50
It would be a fun monthly contest to see who could buy the best card under $50. Great deals can still be had, especially if you wade through the 'auctions only' pre-war section on ebay. Someone pulled down a brown old mill for around $50 last month.
Finding a decent Matty for $50 would really be difficult. If you just wanted a Giants non-hofer, you can find lots of e and t series cards in nice shape for under $50. |

NY Giants
The card in my avatar is Padney Gillespie, one of the original NY Giants. They were called the Giants because the NY team was literally taller than other teams. I don't remember what I paid, but it was around $150.

Yes, you can:

This may be the cheapest way to acquire a Matty from his playing days...sometimes you can find them even cheaper than this.

Maybe a case where the writer wasn't familiar with the rookie and got his name wrong? That would look way cool framed and hanging on a wall |

John, it didn't quite make your $50 limit, but someone bought a trimmed T206 of Matty with great eye appeal on eBay the other day for $100. The seller still has a Marquard for about $30. If I was looking for a cheap Matty, I'd search for a Polo Grounds Game card or an end piece of a T202 Triple Folder ...

Like your W575-1 Yankees. Only seen O'Leary once before. Are those cards on normal card stock or thicker card stock?
