I dont think this is Christy Mathewson...

You can definitely say it isn't him, Matty was an officer in the Gas Corps, this guy is an enlisted man as you can tell by the round disks on both his collars.

I agree with Dan B., a very honest e-bay seller who was probably misled by an unscrupulous individual whom he did business with.

He also says "believed to be Matty" and "You'll have to make the call" No intent to mislead folks.

Sorry, just fooling around.
I don't think the seller is intentionally misleading anyone ( at least anyone who reads the entire listing)

Good seller, no doubt. Misidentified subject though.....

This card was up for sale and sold on eBay approximately 6-8 weeks ago. The posting from the original seller was that this postcard was Matty. I was skeptical then as (was noted above) the uniform was not correct. I believe the OP purchased the card as advertised and is now selling it as it was originally stated. The problem seems to stem from the seller 6 weeks ago.

Dave:

Do you know what it sold for originally?

Most of the current seller's postcards were from his long time collection, I find it odd that while liquidating his entire inventory, he would buy a new item 6-8 weeks ago on e-bay and then be selling it now without realizing that something was wrong with it. If he was misled, two wrongs don't make a right.
