Dan Mathewson...the classic 1930 Post Sports Stars Christy Mathewson, a catalogued card which is cut from the 1930 Post Bran Flakes ceral box. Christy was the only baseball player (from what I recall reading) featured in that series. (Someone correct me if that is incorrect, please). They were featured 4-at-a-time, in a grid, on the back of the box. Christy was featured with Andrew Jackson, Daniel Boone and Pocahantas, under the heading "Famous Americans". For some reason, though, he is classified as the 1930 Post Sports Stars. Kinda cool... I have three of the cards, plus one full sheet of all 4 still together. Then, last month on eBay, I actually snagged a complete cereal box with all four on the back (sans the top flaps) still, very cool though.
