1911 T205 Gold Border Christy Mathewson Cycle 1 Loss Variation PSA 1 PR
MATTY CYCLE 1 LOSS!!! One of the hobby's scant card variations is Christy Mathewson's T205 Cycle Cigarettes subject, whereby some specimens reflect Matty as having only one loss during the 1908 season. Inadvertently omitting a "1" since Mathewson actually lost 11 games that season, most of his T205 Cycle cards reflect the correct 37-11 record, with PSA recording the few indicating only a "1" loss. Consider that the PSA population of only 30 Cycle 1 Loss Mathewson's represents a meager 3.7% of the total 850+ PSA encapsulated T206 Mattys, a huge disparity and bona fide justification of the Cycle 1 Loss scarcity level. This PSA 1 PR Cycle 1 Loss offering reveals atypically excellent centering, downgraded due to rounded corners, border wear, and some stray creases. Most significantly, the Cycle Cigarettes verso reflects the erroneous 37-1 won/loss record, justifying why you should ride this highly coveted Big Six variation directly to the winner's circle!
