New Cy Young Pre-Rookie card?
 

Now this has to be his first card? Since he was born in 1867 I guess it's possible.... Is it Cy?

Both Hands Showing version

If he was born a little girl it might be him.

Kruk Cards is dead to me.

Believe this is also the diaper empty version.

I see no resemblance at all. :D

It amuses and annoys me that a letter with no actual info has the gall to call itself provenance.

And I don't want to know about the fully loaded version. LMAO....

That was my thought as well.

"Here's our letter of provenance. As you can tell, it includes no information about provenance."

Try harder
 

This seller has to try harder...this is clearly Irv Young . geez:rolleyes:

His sister?

What a kruk.

Johnny Cash says it's a boy named Cy.

Ears don't match.

Begs for the addition of a

PREWAR PRESCHOOL

section on the Forum

Is this the Jungian or Freudian version?

I know, you're thinking Fraudian.

Based on my experience, if the realized price on that baby picture isn't high enough, the item will magically be "out of stock."

I can't even ID my own children from their baby pictures.

I thought for sure that was him until I saw that he has rabbit paws instead of hands.

Perhaps a forensic scientist can use one of their models to project the baby's face out 40-50 years. The funny thing is, I do see a resemblance!

I believe a member of this board owns a tintype of Cy Young, with tintypes of HOFers or MLB players being rare. In his case, it of Cy as an adult and it originates from Young's family and Lelands.

There was also a board member who had an 1800s CDV child photo of a T206 player. He was concerned about the authenticity/identity, but it came from the family's estate, the photography studio on the CDV was the player's small hometown and the player and young child (I forget who) had almost albino-like hair/complection (maybe he was an albino?). I said it was safe to say it was the same person.

P.s. the answer to the poll should be simple. A tintype isn't a baseball card.

That may be a prepubescent image, but I know a collector that had an even earlier "image" of Young.... But sadly wiped it away thinking it was mayonnaise.

I found the image of Jesus in my toast, but I was really hungry.

9 members think it's him :) ....

Could you post the list of those people? I have a couple of Joe Jackson photos I've been looking to unload :)

I'll admit Brent, this made me laugh...

I would certainly take this guy's "Letter of Provenance" :eek:

Looks like extremely Young Cy

(Heavy Sigh!) I'm unable to tell...:p
