T-206 Mathewson
My first pre-war is a good story. Back in 1977 (I was 12). I had a paper route and one of the older boys (I think he may have been around 18 at the time) had a huge collection. He was going to sell me a T-205 Mordeci Brown. On the day I was supposed to buy it he changed his mind and for $22 I got a Mathewson portrait and a 1952 Bowman Musial. At the time I was disappointed. But looking at it now I got the better end of the deal. I still have both cards.
