Does a Mathewson dark cap Drum actually exist?

Good luck on the quest - imo, one of the greatest cards ever made

C'mon Luke, isn't there some other run you can start? I could do without any more competition on this one!

I essentially came to the conclusion that I will never complete it, so I haven't put much effort into adding more backs. It's a great card and one of my favorites.

Good luck Luke if you decide to head down that road. Such a great card.

Want to add. Scott and I combined could make quite the run. Nice cards Scott.

Scott, that's a beautiful sight! I only have 1 of those, so we'd only be searching for the same 7 or so combos.

I talked to Brady last night and he said he never heard of a Drum while he was working on the master set. So I guess that's case closed unless it pops up at auction someday.

Great project Luke. And great cards Scott�I really like the way you have the miscut back, stamp, etc on some of the easier backs�that�s cool.

I have 13 combinations on the Matty dark. A Drum, Red Hindu, or Lenox surfacing would certainly destroy any hopes of finishing it though.

Dean and Sonny, we've got to see some of these!

My toughest one.

Sonny has some HUGE backs. Can never get enough looks at them.

Thanks Dean. Between the three of us, maybe we're already done.
