That is as about as stunningly sharp that a black and white photo can be.

I have an old scrapbook with that photograph (not nearly as nice as that, probably from some publication!) in it, and whoever made the scrapbook wrote in this John Kieran quote: "Mathewson was the best pitcher I ever saw. He was the best anyone ever saw. Let them name all the others. I don't care. Mathewson was better." I think that is the best photo ever made of him.

Can one of you guys contact Hunt Auctions and make sure they did not send 50 of those lots to a Best Western in the middle of nowhere?

Joking aside, amazing auction that I happened to stumble upon earlier this AM.

It's so crystal clear that you can easily see the little moth bites on his jersey.

The items up for auction are amazing. To see them available now, after so many years, is very moving.

124k for the Matty Horner. I thought it would go for more but I'm not writing the check.

Just a bit of a weird side note, but it jumped out at me.

Whoever (or is it Whomever?) was responsible for churning out all of the promotional propaganda for that piece was really having trouble with his/her 'it-work.'

• They forgot to include the word "it" when writing “making appear” instead of “making it appear”.

• They errantly added a possessive apostrophe to the word its to make it wrongly read its' at least twice in the write-up.
