Posted By: <b>halleygator</b><p>I'm guessing it is either:<BR><BR>Jimmy Archer<BR>Heinie Beckendorf<BR>Donie Bush<BR>Wild Bill Donovan<BR>Davy Jones<BR>Matty McIntyre<BR>George Moriarty<BR>George Mullin<BR>Claude Rossman<BR>Herman Schaefer<BR>Charles Schmidt<BR>Ed Summers<BR>Ed Willet<BR><BR>since it is NOT: Ty Cobb, Hughie Jennings or Sam Crawford.<BR><BR>We just need to find some images of these other guys and compare them to find the answer...

Posted By: <b>Brett Domue</b><p>Also, just found a link to a lot of 5 from the current Hunt Auction including a Mullin:<BR><BR><a href="http://www.huntauctions.com/online/imageviewer.cfm?auction_num=16&lot_num=663&lot_qual=&url_referer=view_lots_items_list.cfm" target=_new>http://www.huntauctions.com/online/imageviewer.cfm?auction_num=16&lot_num=663&lot_qual=&url_referer=view_lots_items_list.cfm</a><BR><BR>Assuming the top left in the auction is the Mullin, then we've got a winner.<BR><BR>At the very least, it's narrowed down to Rossman, Mullin, Bush, Schmidt, and McIntyre.<BR><BR>Thanks for the help!<BR><BR>Brett

Posted By: <b>halleygator</b><p>If you look at the picture I linked ...<BR><BR>and then look at the 5 guys in Brett's link and KNOW that ONE of them is MULLIN ...<BR><BR>then the button in this thread is the ONLY one that could POSSIBLY be Mullin. The rest are way to skinny, etc.

Posted By: <b>Brett Domue</b><p>There's a picture in the thread. I can print it, affix it to a pinback, and say I got it from my grandfather...<BR><BR>Does that work?

Posted By: <b>halleygator</b><p>Only if you start with:<BR><BR>"I found this in my grandfather's attic and I don't know much about baseball, so I am selling it to the highest bidder - even though I can't vouch for it's authenticty."<BR><BR>This is the EBay equivalent of the Penthouse forum statement:<BR><BR>"I attend a small school, so I never thought this would happen to me..." <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
