Show us your Johnson, Matty and Young cards.

Let's see some cards of these three great hurlers in our collections.

I'll start us off with a well loved e92 Dockman Matty.

I really like this card. I BIN'd it on ebay one day for $140 about 2 minutes after it was listed, and just beat out Toby. (That alone makes it a very cool card - Toby is a master card finder!)

It didn't really fit with my collecting focus of Detroit players, but I liked it so much I decided maybe I should rethink my collecting focus. One of these days I may grab a Matty White to go with it. Old Mill back. Nice.

Always loved that e90-1 Young and the BA on the shirt. We need more unis like that.

I love that card Jay

Jay, that card is great nice cards everyone.

Here's one you wont see often if ever I've only ever seen one.

One of my fav Mathewson items. (thanks Dan O')

John, Thats a great Matty Card. Can you tell us anymore about it? What is it's origin's? Is it cut off a candy Box?

Jerry thanks for the comment.

Yes most likely cut from a candy box etc. They are found both ways some cut like this, but others will have a diagonal basepath to the left and right that surrounds the image. Dan McKee who sold this too me has I think has a red (Jennings?) with this basepath or diamond design intact.

Perhaps Dan can post an image and chime in with his thoughts thoughts...

That is a great Matty card!! What are it's dimensions? (for us spacially challenged folks who can't discern from the scan)

I used to own a Cy Young card from the same set as John's uncat Matty. It was the Irv Young pose. Had a toy town stamp on the back. I traded it 4-5 years ago and no longer have a scan on file unfortunately.

John's comments regarding the origins of these cards are spot on (part of a candy box with the diamond design). I can confirm that they come with a red border/tint as well.

The size is just a hair smaller than say a T206 card sort of about the size of American Beauty T206...hope that helps.

Jerry that S81 is amazing!

One of my favorite cards:

Hi Yawie99 that is such a nice mathewson card can I ask you what set it is from? Sorry, I'm a noob. It looks alot like the t206 mathewson but cooler.

Thanks! It's an E93, which is probably one of my favorite sets thanks to the great colors.
