1922 Photograph of baseball legend Christy Mathewson as he sells Christmas seals to New York Mayor Hylan on the streets. While seeming to be the picture of health and strength, Mathewson would pass away in a few years making any image of him rare and desirable. Issued by Pacific and Atlantic and with a full paper caption on the back, this is a fine condition example that we have never seen before.
