Is there any chance in heck that this is Christy Mathewson??
 

I’m in an antique shop, and… don’t make fun…

I think it's Bat Masterson.
.

Hmmm
 

I see a slight resemblance but it’s not him IMO. Looks like from the glove and the pants he might have been a catcher?? Or a cricket player???

I think there’s definitey a resemblance. Not saying it’s him!

It is a cool item that if cheap I would buy it if there.

What sport is in the picture? That is a funky looking "glove".

It isn't him.

Agreed. Hopefully they are asking less than $60k...

I agree on both counts--it is not Mathewson, and he is wearing a catcher's mitt.

There is no chance.

And we only make fun when people say it’s a fact and try to scam folks for $60,000 for their lie :D

Haha, fair enough. I can’t say at first glance I thought it was him, but the more I looked at it I WANTED TO BELIEVE. Haha

And.. they were asking $60. I didn’t get it.

I think it's in the best interest of getting unbiased answers in threads like this to ask "Who do you think this is?" It helps eliminate the power of suggestion. That being said at least you didn't come on guns blazing telling us to prove it's NOT Matty lol. I agree with most there is definitely a bit of a resemblance, but don't think it's him.

It's not Christy, but I would say it's early enough and very clear that It was still worth $60. Especially with that sweet Glove.

Does have a slight resemblance but I agree not him. Nice photo regardless.
Boy that guy has big feet.

It does look like someone trying to copy Matty's hair style.
