The "Full Count Find" is a multigenerational collection of cards the prewar component of which was assembled by a boy growing up in California in the early 1900s. While the collection"s prewar component included a variety of tobacco and caramel issues the most beautiful and interesting group within the collection were the 1915 Cracker Jacks. With nearly 140 different cards the set was almost 75% complete when it arrived at our offices on consignment from the family of the original owner. In fact when pulling the cards together and registering them as a set on the PSA Registry we were surprised to discover that the cards were collectively enough to land the set at #25 on PSA"s All Time Finest list and #17 on the Current Finest list. After considerable soul-searching however we decided that the best way to offer this outstanding collection would be to break it into lots and sell the components in smaller groups with most Hall of Famers listed individually and commons broken into a variety of smaller groups. Presented here is one of those lots from the "Full Count Find " an original owner collection of fantastic cards fresh to the hobby.Arguably the most attractive card in the Cracker Jack set there is little question in our mind why Cracker Jack changed the Mathewson pose from its 1914 issue (which depicted Matty pitching). The portrait is illustrative of Mathewson"s dignified demeanor and virtually heroic feats on the mound. Conservatively graded GOOD+ 2.5 by PSA this card boasts outstanding eye appeal its corner wear and mild off-center nature being the primary flaws. An outstanding example of a beautiful and popular card.Population DataPSA Population: 96 total graded 4 at this level 85 higherSGC Population: 58 total graded 6 at this level 42 higher
