Johnson is almost undoubtedly the superior pitcher, but I have always been drawn in by the Mathewson mystique...he just raised the level of being a ballplayer to that of being almost respectable.

Also I got my first Johnson and Matty cards at the same time, within a group of five that were my first prewar cards. The Mathewson card just sparked my prewar fire more than the Johnson. If I had gotten Walter's T206 portrait, well, who knows how I would feel, though I have had a longstanding preference for action poses over portraits...
