One of the keys to the T205 issue that of Christy Mathewson. Graded FAIR 20 by SGC the card does exhibit wear throughout notably a light but visible wrinkle that traverses the card across Matty's face. The rarity of the Piedmont Factory 42 reverse is the subject of much discussion among T205 collectors. Extensive research conducted by Joshua Levine ten years ago indicated that less than 1% of all T205s in his survey were printed with that back - only Broadleaf Hindu and Drum backs were more rare. Some T205 scholars however believe that the reverse is more common than that simply overlooked due to the familiar Piedmont brand among collectors that do not know to look for the factory number. Regardless we do know that there is scarcity to the Factory 42 Piedmont cards making this front/back combination one of the more desirable among all the T205 cards.
