Steve: wonderful Beckley and fantastic story. The more “worn”, the more loved!
Dean: That Cobb is excellent. “Top 4” in the set, one might say .
Jerry: The Waddell in action is one of the most colorful action poses, and yours is no exception. Great card!
Kenny: Always love a good Wheat, especially a Wheat that came from Wheat! Awesome card and story.
Chris: Keep that Cobby forever!
Bill: Awesome story and great Tolstoi. Very underrated back, great soaking, too!
Pete: A Christy for $2, even “back in the day”, is always a good investment. Very, very cool!
John: Doc has a really unique card; great story and scan!
Ben: Great Cobby. The green will always stay hip.
Chris (M.): Awesome posters, brother. Always a good reminder too see what the cards were like fresh off the press.
Sam: A cherished card with a cherished individual. Great story!
Jerry: Very undergraded, awesome piece.
Luke: Patience is definitely a virtue, and it really paid off on that Crawford! Didn’t know the OM was so tough. Great card.
Ted: Don’t ever stop Chasing the Planks (witty fail). Great cards.
Tony: A beautiful portrait. One of my faves from the set!
Jamie: One of the founding fathers of the T-206 set. The stories that card could tell!
Pat: Great story, that plate scratch definitely adds some great history.
Bryan: A good Hindu with an even better player makes for a delightful combo. Beauty!
Rich: “The Jimster” is iconic. Great piece.
Sean: Really, really cool background on the Mitchell. Had never noticed the likeness but it is actually striking. Great story! (Also—that Collins proof has got to be yours someday. Truly a 1of1. Any luck reaching out to Olbermann?)
Frank: Awesome history. A multigenerational card.
Marty: Never hurts to have a card you have a personal connection to. Great stuff.

Apologies if I missed you, great cards all around, everyone!

Do not have very many. But this is my favorite.

This Matty. Like Pete, this was approximately $2.00 in 1981, and I picked it up, along with 4 other 1910 era Hall of Famers, at the first table of the first show I ever went too, and blew all 11 dollars I had to spend. They were my first vintage cards, all in lower condition (the others are T206 Walter Johnson pitching, T205 Zack Wheat Broadleaf...at that time it was just another back, T205 Roger Bresnahan, and E98 Cy Young). The Mathewson is the one in lowest condition, but it is the one that still catches my eye and the card that helped lead me down the collecting hole of appreciating the messed up but not destroyed beater.

Because of that he will always #1 (and the sizing of scans indicates the comparative importance of fronts in my collecting world, or perhaps my relative lack of scanning skills)

For many years, a lower grade version of this was the heart and soul of my collection:

If one more person tells me to sign it, I will, but who’s going to authenticate my signature?

Frank I think you should sign it also. I will authenticate your signature when you send it to me to sign as the new owner.

Great cards on this page, guys. Awesome, awesome stuff.

And yes, Frank, I also virtually sign the petition to sign the card!

Hey Frank

SIGN IT !

I think I have your signature (from one of our past card deals at the National).

So, I will gladly authenticate it for you free of charge .
