Been watching the Matty and couldn't pass on this auction go round, which timed well with a 4x bid bucks promotion.

Thanks for the comments guys and beautiful Matty Paul, congrats on finding a nice one! Oddly, I eyed and eventually bought mine in anticipation of trading you my SGC40. Seems we both made out OK in the end.

Yes it does. I really wasn't planning on going after one so nice yet but you only live once. Right?? Plus, I haven't seen a matty portrait this nice up for auction in a couple of years.

Nice Clymer Sean (and nice pickups everyone else).

That card is interesting to me because it shows that there were two shades of blue applied to darken it up. I always assumed that the dark blue cards were 1 blue layer and 1 gray layer. Yet further evidence that the six-color litho process really had more layers - off the top of my head I know gray, as seen in some ghosts, rose as I have seen in color shifts and missing red cards, and now apparently a second layer of blue on some (unless this card was just run through on the blue run twice by mistake).

I just got this one in the mail today. I've been wanting to add a nice CJ for a while now.

excellent points BRYAN!

Clymer is another "piece" in the puzzle.....these scraps are the key to it all

Damn Jesse! Nice Wags!

Bryan, here's an Oldring card where you can see the two layers of blue. The light blue was applied first, then the dark blue. In this case the dark blue shifted slightly to the right.

This question was of interest to me because I always wondered how the light blue Plank came about. This was how it was explained to me. They simply missed the dark blue pass, then scrapped the card.
