The carl horner type 1 portrait is simply profound
The Carl Horner portrait of Matty is profound----just makes you stop, and stare in amazement. The fact it belonged to Christy so long ago..... Takes me back to when I was a lad of 10, in 1964, and reading whatever I could find on the great Big 6. Card-wise, all I had was his beautiful Golden Press HOF. In time, bought a nice T206 black cap, but sold it in the mid-80s to help raise money for a good project. I miss that card.
I trust whoever wins this precious portrait of the great Mathewson will cherish it very strongly!
Really, in this instance, I feel this Type 1 portrait is better than any Christy Mathewson card. --- Brian Powell
