Tom Boblittthat the check, being written to his son, whose name is Christy Mathewson Jr was the clincher on this. ANY Mathewson signatures are tough and checks are very popular right now. I find it amazing that so many of these guys saved checks for so long. While I'm sure they were circulating in the 1970's, their popularity has only recently exploded. So with this check you actually get TWO Christy Mathewson signatures since they had the same name. Nice collectible. I have a lot of checks and always look for odd ways to collect them like being written to cash and co-signed on the back. I have a Waite Hoyt check written to Waite Hoyt on the front and signed Waite Hoyt on the back. I have Happy Chandler check written to University of Kentucky for his football tickets. I have Pee Wee Reese check written to Hillerich and Bradsby. Kinda oddball stuff but a lot of fun. Okay....I'll stop now as this is an OT thread and I don't want the OT police after me......at least I didn't start it.......
