(LOT 777)
1909-11 T206 Christy Mathewson Dark Cap Sweet Caporal 350/30 PSA 6 EX-MT
CLASSIC HANDS-AT-CHEST MATTY!!! One of the most iconic T206s is the Christy Mathewson Dark Cap subject boasting Carl Horner's classic hands-at-chest pitching pose, presented here in a stellar PSA 6 EX-MT holder. This Sweet Caporal 350 Subjects offering was issued in 1910, the year Christy would pace the Senior Circuit with 27 wins while posting a microscopic 1.89 ERA. Grand highlights include a robust pitching pose of the immortal Christian Gentleman, vibrant baby blue and green background hues, crease free surfaces, somewhat square corners, dazzling white borders, a sharp perimeter, and fine centering only reflecting a trace of partiality towards the right edge. The bold Sweet Caporal is the final exclamation point for this legendary depiction of the incomparable right-hander twirler, who, standing tall with his hands at his chest, truly appears as if he is the "lord" of all the Deadball Era hurlers!
