From my sober but flawed memory...
I believe Mr. Bruce Dorskind purchased the Only known Boston Garter
example of Christy Mathewson from a School teacher uP iN the Northeast somewhere, maybe Pennsylvania!?

Well apparently, the School teacher had been using Matty's Card as a book marker. The Teacher purchased the book at a flea market, with the Matty Relic Included! As I remember the story(in which I believe I read it hear on the 54 some years ago & I do believe Bruce has a Youtube explaining his find), I think he paid like a quarter for the book and had No Idea what the card was.
Bruce saw the Teacher reading his book and noticed "The Matty" being used as a Book marker... WoW! What a Find!!!
