(LOT 790)
1909 T206 Piedmont Christy Mathewson Portrait PSA 4.5 VG-EX+

BIG SIX GEM!!! This super eye pleasing PSA 4.5 VG-EX+ T206 Christy Mathewson "Portrait" Piedmont 150 Subjects offering portrays stellar aesthetics starting with the classic Carl Horner portrait Matty image that jumps off the card. Flanked by an extremely rich orange/yellow background, the relatively well-centered image modestly favors the left edge. No glaring surface flaws are evident on either side, with even corner wear accounting for the assessment. One of the most desirable "Big Six" poses originally struck by iconic photographer Carl Horner in the early 1900s, this 114-year-old beauty stands as one of Matty's most coveted and exalted issues. Its outstanding eye appeal for the grade is equally synonymous with Mathewson's unequivocal standing as one of our National Pastime's greatest twirlers who ever toed a pitching rubber!

MIN BID $1,000
