With today's Eddie Mathews post, I will have shown you 159 of the 385 different players that I currently collect. I have a couple more and then I will go through the players alphabetically and show you one card of each of them before I wrap this thread up.

Eddie Mathews was a 12-time All-star, two-time Home Run leader and two-time World Champion. He is the only player to have played home games for the Braves in all three cities of Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta. Teaming up with teammate Hank Aaron, their combined 863 home runs for the Braves are the most ever by two teammates surpassing Gehrig and Ruth. I currently have 226 different Beckett recognized cards of Mathews. Here are nine vintage from my collection.
