Hi Ty, I suspect Matthews never actually went to Michigan, but I have no idea why that fell through.
I noticed that William Clarence Matthews was much easier to find info on as he kept showing up in all my searches - it would be amazing if they were related, but it just seems more likely its a coincidence.
Hi Shawn, I was about halfway done with Chicle when I started on the Leaf. I think I made it up to about 40 cards. it sounds strange, but I kind of got burnt out on it - the eBay auctions were constant - it started feeling more like a job than fun. And the rarer high numbered cards were mostly of college players and often didn't fit with my interest in NFL history. I don't regret having started it, I just don't think I had the budget or commitment for it. I really like the early Bowman sets too, but I think I'll be happy just doing some player runs so I have some cards from 48-55 without going after entire sets.
