After a quick look I had voted no. But now I'm leaning towards yes. The tipping point for me is something that I don't think was mentioned yet. His height. Cobb was every bit of 6'1" and if the fellow next to him was of average height of 5'9" or perhaps it was 5'8" more than 100 years ago, then the fellow we're talking about would certainly measure up. Not a whole lot of young men coming in at 6'1" way back when, especially one that resembled Cobb so much.

In regards to value. If it was proven that it was Cobb, I would put it between $300-$350.
