Looking for a Christy Mathewson
Posted By: pedrochet
Greetings all. I am new to the board. I recently purchased a Harridge Ball signed by the Babe, Lou Gehrig and others. Am interested in getting a Christy Mathewson signature on ball or card. Seems like a much rare auto than the gents listed above. Any suggestions? |

A Matty "cut" signature on paper is probably going to set you back around a grand. I doubt you will be able to find or get one on a baseball unless you plan on spending megabucks. Unlike Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb signed baseballs which are plentiful, Matty signed balls are very scarce. |

According to some experts that I know (not PSA/DNA) there are less than 10 authentic Matty single signed balls in existance and almost all which have been authenticated are old fakes. It is also thought that at least 80-90% of the cuts and 3X5 cards (and probably more) are fake. A good way to get his autogrpah is to buy a presentation copy of his books. While some people think these were ghost signed, the vast majority thinks these are real and they present nice examples of his signature. It really does not make sense that Matty would ghost sign a couple hundred books which he wanted to sell and make money off them. |

They've been bringing in the 7500-10K range. Been looking for one and I will likely not be getting one anytime soon till they go back down......Lelands has one that's at about $7500 right now with 4-5 days to go. |
