2011 Matty premium in Heritage tonight is NOT as described
An FYI to any of our Board members may be pursuing it, the description for Lot # 41259 in the Heritage Auction that ends tonight contains misinformation. The description reads: "1911 Christy Mathewson Premium. Offered is a 1911 Christy Mathewson Premium from July 22, 1911 supplement from the National Police Gazette."
When I noticed the misinformation late this morning, I sent Heritage this message: "First, the narratine below Matty's pic says he is beginning his 17th season, which indicates this piece was issued much later than 1911. Second, I don't believe this is a premium "supplement" because there is no NPG issue # shown; rather, I think it is an actual page removed from a NPG issue because there is a page # (13) at the top right of this piece. Per The Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards, "such pages do not enjoy the same populatity and value as the supplements." I trust you will revise your description for this item asap."
I just now checked this auction listing, and I see that no changes have been made to it. It may well be that it's too late for Heritage to change the description.
