That has to be one of the all-time great looking Mathewson - Blacks. What great color.
I used to collect pre-WWI cards of Detroit players. I wanted one from each set but ended up with lots of Detroiter commons from the larger sets - T206, etc. When I decided I wanted more focus, I thought I would go to a "Set of 25" but couldn't give up my Tigers focus.
So now I'm loosely working on two different sets of 25. One is 25 Detroit players, and the other is any 25 players. The second set is just nice cards that I've always wanted but never bought because they weren't Detroiters and didn't "fit" my collection - things like T206 Johnson Portrait, an E93 Phillipe at some point, etc.
good luck with your collecting. If you do as well on the rest as you did on the Matty, it'll be great!
