A premium mid-to-high grade example from the iconic 1912 T202 Hassan Triple Folders set, featuring Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson alongside Chief Meyers, with the dramatic center panel titled “Just Before the Battle.” This issue is widely regarded as one of the most visually compelling and historically rich sets of the pre-war era.

The T202 Triple Folders are uniquely designed, combining two player portrait panels on the outer edges with a detailed baseball action scene in the center. The “Just Before the Battle” image captures a tense pre-play moment, offering a rare glimpse into the strategy and intensity of Deadball Era baseball, one of the defining features that makes this set so beloved among collectors.

Graded PSA 6 EXMT, this example represents a strong, above-average survivor with excellent overall eye appeal. The card displays clean, well-defined imagery, solid color, and pleasing presentation across all three panels. Expected wear is minimal and consistent with the grade, with light corner wear and well-preserved fold lines that do not detract from the display.

Christy Mathewson, one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history and a charter member of the Hall of Fame, anchors this card and adds significant historical and collector appeal. His presence on a high-grade T202 triple folder makes this piece especially desirable among advanced pre-war collectors.

T202 cards are notoriously condition-sensitive due to their fold-out construction, making higher-grade examples increasingly difficult to find, especially those with strong eye appeal and clean presentation.

A beautiful and increasingly scarce high-grade example of a classic triple-folder featuring one of baseball’s all-time greats, an outstanding addition to any advanced pre-war or Hall of Fame collection.
