That's a great first card. My first T206 was a Beals Becker!

My first was Killian Pitching, which I got about 1983. I then picked up a Polar Bear card in the early 90's before diving in for real about four years ago. Crazy set(s), very addictive.

I think you did well with your first T206 purchase. Mathewson is my favorite player in the T206 set. So much so, in fact, that I named my second son Mathewson. And I still get a kick out of calling him Matty.

My first T206 were a pair of HOFers -- Mathewson White Cap and Bender Portrait. I bought them from a guy in 1997 who was looking for extra money for a Vegas trip. They were part of his grandfather's collection. I am sure I made out better than him all these years later. I am quite happy to say that I still have them.

Thanks a lot for your input. Those cards are beautiful. I like hearing the stories of how people found their favorite cards. And by the way, I found your website before I this forum. I went through a lot of the content and enjoyed it quite a bit.
