Christy Mathewson Trio Completed

I’ve finally completed my t206 Christy Mathewson trio.  As I mentioned in a previous post, I already had the portrait and the dark cap variation, but needed the white cap variation.  My white cap variation has a Piedmont back and is in similar condition to my other two cards.  With my other Mathewson cards featuring Polar Bear (my favorite back) and Sweet Caporal, I’m glad the final card has a different back, even if the most common one.

As I’ve mentioned before, ungraded raw T206 cards, especially hall of famers and southern leaguers, are becoming more and more difficult to find.  Quite often when found, sellers try to get as much for them as a graded card that’s in much better condition.  I have been negotiating with a couple of sellers for this card and I ended up getting this one for well over $100 less than what other sellers wanted.  Given its condition, I still think I might of over paid, but I’m glad to finally complete the trio.
