John,

I have no intention to ever part with that Matty. I locked myself in by naming my second son Mathewson (we call him Matty for short). Moreover, when I was in high school in the late 1980's I had a friend who had purchased a Matty portrait out of an old SCD advertisement. He wouldn't ever let me see it since I had a knack for finding minute flaws in seemingly perfect cards. So when I began my own collection of T206 cards in the late 1990s, this was one of the first ones I went for -- originally in a PSA 6 holder and for about $800. I overpaid a little at the time, but the card was so clean and crisp.

Jodi,

I don't know if you're a Monty Python fan, but it is impossible for me to pass over an image of the T206 Kisinger and not think of the obscure Python song, with the chorus, "Henry Kissin-gah, I'm missin-yah...."
