If I ended up panhandling on the street corner with just one card in my shirt pocket (placed carefully inside a Card Saver 1 sleeve which was then put into an upside down Card Saver 2 sleeve to protect against inclement weather and body odor), it would be this Matty. It was one of a group of 5 1910 era HOF'ers I purchased (my first vintage cards) for $11.00 total back in 1981 at the first card show I ever attended, from the first table I visited just inside the entrance.

The other four are great cards too (I still have them all), but this one has always caught my eye and helped formulate my future collecting mantra...a beater can be just as desirable as a higher grade card, and quite often has more interesting eye appeal. I have collected plenty of other fantastic beaters since then...but this one would outlast them all.

I don't see myself ever parting with this beater.



Loving this thread, btw. Richard, those die-cuts are awesome. I never get tired of seeing them.
