Winthrop Postcard of Christy Mathewson
Lot 7. Winthrop Postcard of Christy Mathewson An extremely rare Thumb Movie of McGinnity is part of a post card set featuring major league baseball players, mostly New York Giants. The postcard which measures 4” x 2 1/4” and is 3/8” thick, contains 24 pages which, when fanned, show a complete pitch from Mathewson. The postcard reads on the front “Christy Mathewson N.Y. National League Base Ball Team. For Directions See LAST LEAF WINTHROP MOVING PICTURE POST CARD”. The inside back cover has the simple directions for viewing. The Front Cover has “No. 19” and since McGinnity is know to be No. 20, it can be assumed there were at least 20 subjects and I would guess 50-75% of them have never been seen. The Mathewson has to be assumed to be the prize of the set. A Mordecai Brown was in our November 2008 auction and sold for $1,773+ and the McGinnity sold in last year’s auction for 3,461. The “card” is in very good condition despite some creasing on the covers.
Winning Bid $5,363.
