Mathewson isn't in that picture; it was taken early in the season when Buck Herzog was still the manager before he was traded to the Giants for Mathewson. Herzog is in the second row from the bottom, second from the left. The player (actually a coach) on the far left of the third row is 45-year-old Heinie Peitz. Here is the same image (with the background erased) as it appeared in the 1917 Spalding Guide:

Wishful thinking I suppose. Did the seller mention Matty in the sale?

Yes, correct Matheson is not in the photo and the seller Worthridge did say he was in there. I probally should have looked more closely and I have already reached out to the AH. Still, a 1916 Reds team postcard unless there is another problem with the date...

This card below I know is Matty !!!
