I picked up an Al Mattern Lionel Carter T206 for my collection an was willing to pay a premium for it but was fortunate to get it at a good market price.
I like the idea of having one of his cards in my collection. It definitely adds to the history for me. Last edited by Abravefan11; 05-12-2009 at 08:58 PM.

I too have purchased caramel and tobacco cards for the pedigree, Carter and Nagy, plus they were really nice looking cards. I have refused to upgrade them because the fact they once belonged to these hobby pioneers makes them special.
I have noticed several of Carter and Nagy's cards which have been graded "authentic" but I believe that was due to old time collectors innocently trimming them up for various aesthetic purposes, not with an intent to deceive anyone or be fraudulent.

Here's my lone Lionel Carter. I wish he had collected Zeenuts.

Every hobbyist should own at least one Lionel Carter card in their collection. Watching the video's and listening to his NPR interview brought a tear to my eye. The man was what the hobby was meant to be and still felt the same way about his cards from age 8-80.
