A Great Role Model and Human Being

Fantastic pieces, everyone! It's always fun to browse
through one of these threads.

I'll offer up another T206 portrait, and an E92. I've
always liked Matty's T206 portrait, and how the fiery,
orangish-red background contrasted against his calm,
gentlemanly demeanor. It's one of the nicest looking
portraits in the entire set (perhaps only trumped by
the Johnson). I'm completely content with my low
grade example, as it's crease-free and presents well
for a VG card.

The classic horizontal pose found on the e92 (and
other E card sets) is one of the finest examples of
color lithography ever applied to a baseball card.

How could I forget
 

How could I forget one of my most favorite, and if I took a poll, it might be the board's favorite (of the few in my collection)...A good hobby friend called me a few nights ago hinting he would like it in his collection...alas, not for sale.
