Christy or Henry?

This doesn't look like Christy to me, despite the "C. Mathewson".

It's a 1906 Giants folding postcard set. Could this be Henry who was briefly on the team in 1906?




Or is my eyesight just worse than I thought?

It's hard to tell at this resolution, but I agree that that doesn't look like Christy. Are there photos of Henry Mathewson somewhere?

That photo of Dummy Taylor is the one used for his T206.

Here's a picture of Henry Mathewson. That does look like him in your picture, much more than Christy.

It does look more like Henry than Christy but I doubt Henry would've been included on a 1906 schedule since he debuted at the very end of the 1906 season.

I don't know if it's Henry or not, but he was with the Giants in Spring Training and came north with the team, just didn't play anything except exhibition games.

This might be him.
