Still don't know who issued this card but it comes from the 1959 Dominican Winter League. Matty was 19 and also on the team, and maybe theoretically has a card somewhere out there, was Willie McCovey:

Would this 1968 Nolan Ryan fit the bill?

Hmmm ... PSA labels it 69 pretty sure. Nice card anyhow, great picture.

I’m pretty sure Newhouser was actually one of the cards carried into the 1947-1966 sets. Some of the 1939-1946’s were included in these and are from years long after 1946. The exhibit dudes will be able to confirm.

Well, I took this picture and uploaded it thinking it would be Ron Santo's rookie year, but he had a rookie card in 1961. Then I thought....Boog Powell. Nope! He had one in 1962. I went through the trouble of taking the picture.....I'm posting it!

I'm sure there is somebody on these 2 cards whose "alternative first card" would be featured in this picture.

FYI - these reside in my Cardinals collection - Julian Javier and Fred Whitfield. Fortunately there were no Cardinals on the Pete Rose counterpart. These are not exactly easy to find - 1964 Topps Rookie Banquet.

Same image but no "salutation" in the later printing?
