I know am a little behind the curve here, but for the Legendary auction that closed 9/30, they had a nice set of Deadball Era photos:

item 1270 ID'd as Bris Lord is not Bris Lord
item 1276 ID'd as John McDune (who?) is a nice 1880's image of Deacon McGuire (same can be seen in the NYPL SPalding collection)
item 1312 ID'd as Carrol Boardwalk Brown is not Brown
item 1320 ID'd as George Gibson is not George Gibson (at least he is not "the" George Gibson)
item 1322 ID'd as Ed Killian is not Ed Killian


edited to add:
item 911 ID'd as Eddie Cicotte is Lefty Williams - looks like no one bid on this one.

Hi Mark,

I'm a George Gibson collector, and I agree that the photo they identified as George did not look like him at all to me either.

Thanks,

Patrick

I knew who they were not, but credit goes to my friend Matt for figuring out who they were:

The first ID'd as George Gibson is Johnny Bassler.

The second one ID'd as Ed Killian is Wild Bill Donovan
