A perfect illustration to my funky-name aversion is this e98 Matty I was recently able to Best Offer down enough on ebay to my liking. It fits pretty well with the overall condition aesthetics of my collection. It's slabbed PSA AUT...has the tape and seems to be a bit short on top (whatever happened there happened a long time ago), but the front and back actually look pretty nice and I'm thrilled to have it. In my mind this is the greatest pre-war card ever issued and I couldn't afford it any other way. BUT, if the name was chipped at all or obscured in some other manner I would have hemmed and hawed and probably not bought it.



Brian - a good tangent to this thread would be cards that you can't stand to look at, now that you have them in your collection...
