Edward Vela needs better help:
 
I noticed this art card claiming to be Eddie Collins that is clearly Eddie Plank.


https://www.ebay.com/itm/Eddie-Colli...EAAOSwuG1cjzfv


I sent an ebay message to the seller and this is his reply:

Good Evening,

Thank you for your E-mail. We double checked the matter of who the player is in the sketch card art that Edward did and it is indeed Eddie Collins. If you google, bing, or use any other search engine you will find this image referenced as Eddie Collins. We do thank you for your E-mail though and it does help us improve our business, it's always good to double check these things


I responded again, letting them know that all they have to do is to check the correctly-listed Eddie Collins art cards they are currently selling to see Collins ears and understand the difference.

Good Grief! Idiots!

It sure looks like Eddie Collins to me.

Why did you post this thread about a modern card of a pre-war player in the post-war/pre-1980 section? Splitting the difference?

HRBAKER 07-02-2019 06:52 PM

That's clearly Eddie Collins.

If it isn't Collins, they got it wrong too.

Here is one that I am quite sure is misidentified by Edward Velo

Maybe the just posted the wrong card on the auction but, this Frank Frisch is probably Gabby Hartnett.

Not even close to Plank

clydepepper 07-03-2019 06:37 AM

Wow! I bow to everyone else's knowledge...sure looks more like Plank to me...but those A's all look alike anyway.

Meanwhile, that's a nice card.

These images are how I got confused:

side-by-side, I can now see the difference in ear size.
