With a few tiny areas of light wrinkling at the edges, this popular pose of Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson has been graded VG 3 by SGC, due largely to a sharp, clean image with little surface wear. In the case of this card, the bulk of the wear has been restricted to the edges and corners, the image centered to the right. The reverse is clean, a sharp example from the Piedmont 150 series.
