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

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.

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

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 |

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. |

That might be the coolest Christmas card I have ever seen. Congrats Paul!
