T206 Matty
A long time friend of mine, who lives in the Smoky Mountain region of North Carolina, while in College at Davidson (NC)
in 1959, found an unopened Piedmont pack in a small Antique shop.
He pulled a Mathewson (dark cap) from it....lucky guy.
He put the pack and the card in the glove compartment of his Ford truck and forgot about it. Traded in the truck that
year, and left the card and Piedmont pack in it. He regretted this for many years, so when he returned to BB card col-
lecting in 1973, one of the first cards he acquired was a T206 Matty.
He is one of the many "unknown" veteran hobbyists that have huge BB card collections (all ungraded), that prefer to
remain anonymous.
