1912 Christy Mathewson S-81 Tobacco Baseball Silk.
Lot 9. 1912 Christy Mathewson S-81 Tobacco Baseball Silk. For 25 cigarette coupons, Helmar “Turkish Trophies” issued these beauties, which were a luxury then and a rarity now. Christy Mathewson, N.Y. Nat’l, numbered 108. The border intact and, remarkably, shows no signs of fraying. There is a stain in the upper left corner near the number and light foxing confined primarily to the lower right. Mathewson’s image appears to be free of soiling or foxing, and it remains crisp and vivid. The silk squares up nicely and has never been sewn. Vg-ex.
Winning Bid $711.
