Christy Mathewson passed away at the ripe age of 45. He was preparing and training for WW1 and was accidentally exposed to chemical gas and got Tuberculosis from that which was his ultimate demise. As such, anything that has been autographed by Christy brings an enormous premium as there just weren't many of his out there.
 
This is an extremely nice Christy Mathewson signed cut. I'm not 100% certain what it was cut off of but through some extensive research it appears that it was cut from a signed check. Finding an autograph of "Matty" in this good of shape is incredible. It was framed with PH+ balanced matting and UV protectant museum quality glass.
