I know the bidders assumed it was, but I didn't think so.......

Isn't the baseball made after he died?

I think someone took a risk on it and hoping for high reward.

I was watching this as well. Can anyone make out any of the other autographs?

"Sitting on an old man's desk for 1000 year..."

Um, ok...

I was watching it too. I don't think it says Mathewson. There is a Henry M on the same panel which made me think maybe the Mathewson brothers. But I highly doubt it.

That sure looks like his M, but the first name not so much.

Gotta love all the BS emails for why the guy should end the auction early.

Yah, I was questioning those as well. Normally I don't, but so many so fast, I think he may have been pumping his own auction as I couldn't make out any of the names, and not sure if anyone else still has.

Unless it was a Christy Mathewson game used ball from 2nd grade, that sig doesn't look at all like his.

Is it just me, or doesn't the fact that it is attached to a base kill the value anyway? I wouldn't want it for that reason alone.

I think it could have been fairly easily been removed from the base, and then yes you'd have a minor hole or a at best a mark, but it would display better then....yup, on that base.
