Both of these auctions just ended on ebay...as I'm sure some of you saw. I saw them kinda last minute and decided I liked them both...on different levels...the coupon as it's a nice pose yet is rarer than it's t206 counterpart...and the pinkerton...despite it's pin holes...due to it's more unique pose and it's scarcity. Both ended similarly pricewise as well |

I must have seen 12 of the T206's this weekend, so they could be picked up anytime. I would go with the Pinkerton. |

For any of my collecting pursuits, rarity always eclipses value, eye appeal and popularity. Just one guy's opinion. |

Pete, I had seen the auction that you had won and would definitely want the Pinkerton ahead of the T213. Some people are not as into postcards as others, but that is really a cool pose. |

thanks guys for giving me positive affirmation on my purchase. as my budget for buying cards is relatively small...spending $400 on a card sometimes can give me heartburn!!!! And, yes...postcards have certainly grown on me over the years...although I consider Pinkertons cards! |

Pete -- yes, all us postcard collectors consider them to be cards. |

If anyone is looking for a nice Matty Pinkerton, I know where you can find one. |

I just picked up a Pinkerton Mathewson on ebay, but I was thinking of bidding on this one too because it has the scarcer scorecard back (at least I think it is scarcer). |

Mine's an SGC 50, but without the scorecard back. I guess that's a little better than a blank one. |

I would have gone with the T213 Mathewson. But as long as you're happy with the choice, that's all that matters! |

how come James? The better condition? The eye appeal? Obviously we are all different...have different preferences and ideals...I'm just curious, why? |

mike...thanks for the thumbs up brutha! i'm usually about rarity over mainstream issues...except in some cases...and while I'm sure the card is not unique...it's definitely tougher than a t213-2...and offers a cooler pose! |

Just to add a side note here: The Matty in Barry's auction used to be mine. I sold a while back. It came from an estate auction in Kansas - I bought a group of 12 (I think) of them for $25. The lot had 8 HOFers in it. I just wish I would have kept them. The matty is a great looking card. |

Bryan- that's the first time I've heard that story. One of the things I've found time and again is how familiar cards get sold, and then sometime later reappear. |

Thanks for your explanation, James...all good, valid points. I also much prefer smaller slabs...but every now and then...exceptions must be made!!! |
