I bought this Matty sight unseen out of a hobby publication back in 1980 or so. I don't remember what I paid but I'm guessing around $25. I was planning to build a Hall of Fame player collection using as many career-era cards as possible but I soon realized that was a task bigger than my resources, even then. Nonetheless, I was enthralled by the idea of owning a card that had been in some kid's collection in 1911. I cherished it for years and it's still my favorite of all the cards I've owned.
I had it graded and sold it a couple of years ago. It's one of two cards I've ever sent in to be slabbed.
