Heritage lot 81815

[bmarlowe1]

Lot 81851 in the Heritage May auction is an Ohio Wesleyan team photo for which it is claimed that Branch Rickey appears in the middle row 2nd from left (face shown below left).

Below center is a verified Branch Rickey exemplar. Below right is the person in the Ohio Wesleyan team photo who actually is Rickey (back row far left).

That is a fairly well known photo, I'm kind of surprised that Heritage could goof that up. One might think the consignor would know where Rickey is in the photo as well.
