Scott,

That exactly what I told the gentleman selling it when he contacted me. If he didn't want to take my word that it wasn't Joe Jackson....and I did ask him not to take my word for it....but that he should prove me wrong....go to Zanesville...or get an inter-library loan of the microfilm and do the research for yourself. I told him he couldn't possible begin to think about selling it without some sort of provenance....other than what he thought(seems I was way wrong about that). The guy was totally convinced it was Jackson and there was no amount of reason that would make him think otherwise. Like you.....I can't even imagine beginning to think about clicking on the "Bid" button....until I had hard proof that Jackson was there in whatever year this photo is from (again....I am getting that nasty sinking feeling that it wasn't even 1923....in fact....if I was the buyer....I would be in the restroom throwing up lunch).
