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:

Today, I have a different favorite

[t206kid]

Wasn't my first T206 (2nd or 3rd), but it was my first cool/big/expensive one. Bought this maybe 13ish years ago when I was 13-14 for $350, which felt like all the money in the world.

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!

OK, my most current favorite T206 is this McGraw / UZIT card. I acquired this card from an old-time collector who had purchased 20 tobacco cards
at the Willow Grove Show back in the late 1970's. Recently, he posted on my T206 Reference thread seeking information on this McGraw card.
I instantly contacted him. First, we reminisced about the old Willow Grove Show days. Then we got down to business. I informed him how valuable
his McGraw card was. He told me that several other guys had contacted him regarding this McGraw card. So, I told him to consider all his offers.
Subsequently, he got back to me and we made a really nice deal on all the cards in his collection.

This McGraw card is very unique (or as some here say "1 of 1"). In 40 years, only 4 subjects in the Exclusive 12 group (see scans below) have been
found with the UZIT back. Each of these T206 cards are unique with the UZIT back. Perhaps the remaining 8 subjects will eventually be discovered
with a UZIT back. Although, I'm not holding my breath for this discovery. This front/back combo is indeed extremely rare.

Hey Frank

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 .
