Default Question on Lelands Mathewson T206 card photo
Posted By: Jackson

Hi -

Lelands' recent vintage photo lot of the famous Mathewson pose had the following description:

"Sumptuous Christy Mathewson wire photograph is the same image used on this classic baseball card. Original wire photograph is a Keystone View Company image printed in 1920. The photo is circa 1905. Perfect contrast (moving, we may say) some minor edge defects o/w EX-MT. 7”x9''. Original paper caption on verso."

Does this mean that this was in fact a 1920 print of a 1905 original image? If so, was it a print off the negative or the original photo, making it then a Type 2?

I found the description very misleading. Can anyone help confirm?

Thanks.
