The mind boggles! What's the over/under on the Horner photo? The Army uni?

Wow, that Horner.

Auction estimate, 50k-100k. Whom can I write the check to? Off the cuff guess, it goes for mulilples of that estimate. That is one of the most gorgeous photos I have ever seen.

I have an old scrapbook with that photograph (not nearly as nice as that, probably from some publication!) in it, and whoever made the scrapbook wrote in this John Kieran quote: "Mathewson was the best pitcher I ever saw. He was the best anyone ever saw. Let them name all the others. I don't care. Mathewson was better." I think that is the best photo ever made of him.

Can one of you guys contact Hunt Auctions and make sure they did not send 50 of those lots to a Best Western in the middle of nowhere?
Joking aside, amazing auction that I happened to stumble upon earlier this AM.

The carl horner type 1 portrait is simply profound
The Carl Horner portrait of Matty is profound----just makes you stop, and stare in amazement. The fact it belonged to Christy so long ago..... Takes me back to when I was a lad of 10, in 1964, and reading whatever I could find on the great Big 6. Card-wise, all I had was his beautiful Golden Press HOF. In time, bought a nice T206 black cap, but sold it in the mid-80s to help raise money for a good project. I miss that card.
I trust whoever wins this precious portrait of the great Mathewson will cherish it very strongly! Really, in this instance, I feel this Type 1 portrait is better than any Christy Mathewson card. --- Brian Powell |

It's so crystal clear that you can easily see the little moth bites on his jersey.

Can someone share the story?

So
What does everyone think about the results? Very annoying to hold the auction on a workday Was super busy at work and it was difficult to keep track of the lots |

I've never bid at a live Hunt Auction before, but when I tried to log in, to Invaluable, I was unable to. Wasn't going to be a big player in the auction, but would have liked to have grabbed a photo or two.

Have to say I thought many of the prices were lighter than I expected. Probably because I found the stuff so damm amazing.
Watched 90% of the auction. Didn't pull the trigger on anything and kicking myself. Last edited by Snapolit1; 06-04-2024 at 11:06 PM. |

I was watching 5 photos and all but 1 went at or higher than the pre-auction estimate. The one exception was the Norfolk Phenoms team photo from c1900 which went for just under $10k.

Finally got my Matty! My first T206 card purchased in 1997 was a Matty. And my latest T206 subject autograph is now… finally… a Matty.

I picked up this Matty photo with Christy Jr. imitating his dad’s pitching motion. I missed out on a few others because I was running around my office while the auction was taking place.

Mathewson Auction
I was pretty excited to land the two items I was after.
The fan letter asking to teach the "fade away" and a 1904 Scored Program which was his 30th win of 1904. |

Just a bit of a weird side note, but it jumped out at me.
Whoever (or is it Whomever?) was responsible for churning out all of the promotional propaganda for that piece was really having trouble with his/her 'it-work.' • They forgot to include the word "it" when writing “making appear” instead of “making it appear”. • They errantly added a possessive apostrophe to the word its to make it wrongly read its' at least twice in the write-up. We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread...

It will be similar to the 1970s and 80s, when everything you bought was made in Japan, and the booklets and other printing had those funny little grammatical quirks. That prepped us for the following decades when everything was made in China, with entire sentences unintelligible or drop-dead hilarious. But hey, the stuff they made was good and cheap, so who cared?
