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.
