Default Could this possibly be Christy Mathewson?

I'm always amused by the many "Is this Shoeless Joe?" or "Is this Honus Wagner?" threads. Yet when I first looked at this cabinet that just closed on eBay, I was struck by how much one of the players resembled Christy Mathewson. The fact that the approximate date (c.1900) and region of the country (a small town in Eastern Pennsylvania) matched only enhanced my interest. I never did bid on the item, but I can't shake my curiosity. I won't even bother pointing out who looks like Matty. At the very least, he would have made a great stunt double. What do you guys think? Did someone strike gold? For the price, it's a cool item anyway ...
