The offending exemplar

And I STILL like yours better than mine.

No offense to anyone else's Matty! (I wouldn't kick any of them out of bed)

But David, your example is by far my favorite in the hobby and never grow tired seeing it.

Yup...

Jeff/David- ridiculously incredible examples.

Heritage scans are obviously too bright, but on the other hand provide fantastic detail on corners and edges.

Jeff, Tony, Steve and New Jersey's Most Interesting Man - Sarno. Nice to see some familiar faces. Thanks for the Matty love. It's about the nicest card I've got.

Here's a scan of the back for those that like that sort of thing.

At the risk of embarrassing David...he, without a doubt, has one of the most sophisticated collecting eyes I know of.

Thank you, Michael. But that's the first time in my life I have ever seen the words "David" and "sophisticated" in the same sentence. There's a lot of exquisite stuff out there to appreciate and maybe covet.

David & Jeff, I'm green w/ envy
I appreciate just viewing the cards, can't imagine how cool it would be to own them

I was the underbidder on the Memory Lane Matty. There were three of us until about $30,000 (incl BP). I always do my research a few days before an auction closes and come up with a max price. In this case I went into the night thinking my max was $25,000. That was only the second or third time that I didn’t stick to my number. I rationalized it because I’ve “overpaid” for big cards before and never had buyer’s remorse. I’ve only regretted the ones that I didn’t buy. Plus it’s a nice 1. Still looking for one and willing to pay top $.

Holy smokes David. That is truly a dream card.
