Until ya'll get sick of seeing it :)

Not sure how tough this one is.

My only Matty
 

I wanted one with a Carolina Brights back, but settled for this one:



Tony

Not a card but my favority Matty item (1901 Police Gazette Supplement).........

Nice Phil! And glad to see that scanner I sent you is working.

Certainly not his toughest, but it's the toughest one I have of him.

Actually, Jeff, I cheated on this one. I kept the original scan from the seller that I bought the premium from as the piece is much too large to fit on my scanner.

Here's some:

Leon,
I'm still waiting for YOU to get sick of it, and to give me a call. :)

David,
Those are just sick!

Hi Jim
 

Hi Jim
That might be the nicest Matty Portrait I have ever seen. Great card....

As for the proof.....I think you will be in line with a few others :).

A one of a kind card, unlike David's common version:

<a href="http://s69.photobucket.com/albums/i52/rman444/prewar/?action=view&amp;current=1914CJmattyfront.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i52/rman444/prewar/1914CJmattyfront.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

And another that you don't see everyday:

<a href="http://s69.photobucket.com/albums/i52/rman444/prewar/Cabinets%20and%20Large%20Items/?action=view&amp;current=1910E125ChristyMathewsonF ront2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i52/rman444/prewar/Cabinets%20and%20Large%20Items/1910E125ChristyMathewsonFront2.jpg" border="0" alt="1910 E125 Christy Mathewson Front 2"></a>

still not sure what it is, though it shares the same image as his M101-2 Supplement from Aug 1909 ...

<a href="http://s210.photobucket.com/albums/bb189/Tyjaycox/?action=view&amp;current=1910OrangeBordersChristyM athewsonSG.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb189/Tyjaycox/1910OrangeBordersChristyMathewsonSG.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

the card to Phil's premium
 

The Police Gazette like Phil's is high on my want list.....and here is the card to go with it....(pardon the others)...

Jim -

your e92 matty.....

thats my favorite matty pose
with my favorite back for that pose.

awesome.

Not as nice as David's Matty, but here is my favorite one:

wow - great card Erick!

Richard,
Love the die-cutS.
JimB

Love the E125, you are right you don't see one very often.

Not really all that tough but my more difficult Mathewson ($$$):)

http://photos.imageevent.com/davidw/...0Mathewson.jpg

Thanks Joe, It's definitely my favorite card of my collection!

As far as a tough Matty items, here is some Matty Wallpaper that is probably a 1 of 1;)

As far as card wise, I know that this will be the 4th 1914 Cracker Jack Matty posted in the thread, but it really is tough......honest.

well, more like 3½.

I stand corrected, I guess I was only 1/2 wrong.

( insert drum and cymbal noise after corny joke for full effect )

Everyone's a comedian.

And........

The S81 - One of my faves!!
 

One of my favorite pieces of my collection!

not sure how relatively "tough" these are..
 

... but had to represent the T202 (only two of his 7 or 8? variations in the set)

Go Giants!!

My only Matty

Not as tough as most on here, but will help round out the T206's.
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks Jim. It's one of my favorites.

After Phil's Police Gazette, there was another one :

Love the Hindu and Carolina Brights Bobby and David.

My favorite card (most days)

Tough? Not really...
 

but I am happy to be able to post anything at all in this thread...I can't imagine owning many of the cards you guys have so this little guy will be my humble contribution...

http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...ewson-piedmonthttp://www.collectorfocus.com/images...hewson-reverse

Not the most expensive, but definitely my favorite Matty card! I've never understood why the 205s aren't more popular. That one is a beaut too!

Chris

i think i like the t205 and the t206 portrait the best

I'm surprised I haven't seen this one yet.

i really like that last one alot!

A couple more.

Matty
 

He was one of my favorites growing up and reading about.
It's just amazing to see all these great cards.
thanks for the pleasure of learning so much about the hobby.

Matty cards
 

I have been away on vacation and I was very pleased today to see all the great Mathewson cards posted on this thread. Some really great stuff....thanks.

Here is a tuff T206 front / back combo of Matty. Check it out in the pop-reports. I do not think there are too many listed. Matty's SOVEREIGN 350 is easier
to find (I did see one posted here).

Matty cards
 

My favorite Matty card......there is a certain mystique about Tobacco cards with really tough advertising backs.

June 13 was a good date in Matty's career...in 1905 he pitched his 2nd no-hitter on this date, and in 1913 he got his 300th win on this date.

Hi, Jeff. Love the Max Stein. And yes, David, those are ridiculous (drool)!

The substantive contents of this thread would make a great start to a Matty museum. Thanks for posting, one and all!

Best regards,

Larry

Matty
 

Certainly not a tough card....but, it's Matty, nevertheless.

Earliest Matty
 

Okay, so maybe not a card but your not going to find much, if anything, with an earlier image of Mathewson.

I don't remember ever seeing another one and after tomorrow (Auction closing) I probably won't see it again.

Also not a card, but a victory versus Boston on June 27, 1906 :
