1909 T206 Sweet Caporal 350-460/42 Christy Mathewson Dark Cap PSA 6 EX-MT
The iconic Christy Mathewson "Hands at Chest" Carl Horner image stands as one of our National Pastime's most defining illustrations. It personifies "turn of the century" baseball with the immortal illustration emanating Matty as the lord of world-class pitchers. No wonder the ATC chose to utilize this image for two of their three Mathewson T206 subjects, with this outstanding PSA 6 "Dark Cap" T206 Matty offering one of the most revered pre-war cards in our illustrious hobby.

Mathewson's revered stature cannot be overemphasized, with his 373 lifetime victories, 2.13 lifetime E.R.A., and four 30-win seasons substantiating his unbridled standing as one of baseball's greatest pitchers to ever toe a rubber. One look at this timeless artifact "turns back the clock" to an era when Matty was the king of the hill, and you can literally feel his unparalleled intensity as he prepares to launch another one of his seemingly un-hittable "fadeaways".

Brilliant blue/green hues, near-perfect resolution, bright white borders, right-angled corners, relatively clean surfaces, and a bold red Sweet Caporal 350-460 Subjects verso complete this magnificent "Big Six" marvel that any serious enthusiast would be wise to ride directly to the winner's circle!
