My guess is that most people who would bid on this lot already know this, but the 1910 T212 Obak listed in Lot 151 in the current Mile High Auction is not Hall of Famer Heinie Manush. It's his older brother, George Manush. Heinie was 9 years old in 1910 when this card was released. Both Beckett, who slabbed the card, and Mile High have misidentified the card. I contacted Mile High a week ago about this, but they never changed the description.

There were a number of issues in their current catalog, which would make me unhappy if I was a consignor.
A few off the top of my head - the description for the WWG Gehrig describes the card as having "more creases than a Chinese laundry." Another is that the image for the Forbes Field Tip Top is printed in their catalog upside down.
