1911 T205 Gold Border Sweet Caporal Christy Mathewson PSA 6 EX-MT
Finding brilliant PSA 6 T205 Gold Border subjects is no simple task, justifying why this PSA 6 Christy Mathewson T205 offering stands tall as one of the "Christian Gentleman's" foremost cards. It is no secret that the 1911 T205 Gold Border issue resides as one of the most condition sensitive sets extant, due to its ultra-delicate gold borders that typically portray serious flaking/wear. Fortunately, this well-centered Matty PSA 6 marvel reveals virtually no border wear, an extremely well-centered and richly hued portrait image and no glaring surface flaws.

The majestic Christy Mathewson's 373 wins are still tied (with Grover Alexander) for the most NL wins ever and his 3 shutouts in the 1905 World Series against Connie Mack's Philadelphia A's will forever stand as baseball's all-time fall classic accomplishment for a pitcher. A seemingly countless number of sophisticated hobbyists seek his most valuable and eye pleasing cardboard artifacts and this astonishing Gold Border example certainly suffices as one of them. Its "scarce for the grade" stature is substantiated by the fact that only 4% of the approximate 620 PSA encapsulated copies have managed to achieve the "EX/MT 6" level with a paltry 3% graded higher. A sure winner like the pitcher it represents, we highly encourage you to jump aboard the "Big Six" and ride this T205 keepsake directly to the winner's circle!
