Hello all,

NOTE: I meant Marquard, not Waddell... pretty much agree with most of the revelations and documentations on this site but I wanted to bring up an old topic just one more time.

I'm still not sold that the 1917 Sports Companion stamp isn't Babe Ruth rather than Wadell although that photograph of Waddell looks too close to be coincidental and also, full disclosure, I own this stamp.

-The face. It's looks exactly like a young Babe Ruth and nothing like Rube Wadell. The eyes are wider, the mouth is bigger and the nose looks way wider. Rube had a slimmer, more muscular face and this, to me, just doesn't resemble him at all. I can't look at this image and look at pictures of Wadell and see any recognition whatsoever.
-The glove is placed completely differently.
-The pitching arm is shadowed on the Youth Companion card but not on the photograph but not on the photograph.
-The socks are different
-the shading on the cap is different
-the background is completely different

It just still looks like Babe Ruth to me... can someone put some facial recognition software to this and see what it comes up with haha!
