Scott: The T200 Fatima Giants card was the subject of one of the more fascinating threads to ever grace Net54. Had to do some sleuthing through the archives but eventually found it. Tim Cathey, a sharp-eyed detective who used to post here (his Dutch Revelle discoveries were also fantastic), found the source photograph for the Giants shot and saw that numerous players had been cut-and-pasted into the image. Mark Fimoff (bmarlowe1, the SABR ID expert aka "the ears guy") stepped in and demonstrated his genius by deconstructing the jigsaw puzzle of who-went-where. At first blush the old thread is chopped off at the knees and hard to follow because Tim's photo has a dead link. The photo is in the SABR Pictorial History Committee Newsletter article about Tim's find that Mark authored; I have appended a screen cap of it to my post.

Congrats on a lucky find!
