SOLD: 1921 Paul Thompson Christy Mathewson Auto Ball Type 1 Photo
 

FS: 1921 Type 1 Paul Thompson photo of a baseball autographed by Christy Mathewson and Warren Harding. Beautiful photo of one of the most famous autographed balls of all time, signed by Mathewson, Harding, and Babe Ruth (among a few others) and auctioned off at the Polo Grounds on September 30, 1921 at a benefit game for Matty, with proceeds going to him. The ball was bought for the then astounding price of $750 by Philadelphia hat maker Truly Warner. Just an amazing photo.

Also amazing, this ball now resides at the HOF and can be seen here:
