So in retrospect are the opinionate saying , the Kid's face is a dead ringer for Comiskey. The Facts may be too convincing so he ears comparison may be the only way out?--
Here is something I really find troubling. I was told, just write the names on the back, everyone is doing it! Sorry now that's fraud.
Why is everyone up in arms when another hobby collector has another opinion?

Tom,
No one and I do really mean no one here is saying that the rest of the kid's face looks like Comiskey. For myself, I don't think the kid looks even remotely like Comiskey, even without the ears.
Let me try to be as clear as possible.
What we are saying is that photos of 2 people can have many facial features match, but if one feature doesn't, then it isn't the same person. It doesn't matter which feature matches or doesn't. It could be the eyes or chin or jaw or any number of things. The point is that only one feature need to not match to show that the photos are of 2 different people. The fact that the ears are so different between your photo and any other known Comiskey photo prove, regardless of any other feature, that they aren't the same person.
Also, your point about a friend stating you look the same proves nothing. Most people pay very little attention to details. This is why so many famous people have stand ins that no one notices.

Fact 2: Your photo will actually appear in a SABR newsletter that will come out very soon. Should be interesting.

Mark,
Please make sure you post a link to the newsletter once it's done.
Perhaps you should send it to the HOF, Chicago Museum, Comiskey family, and the Smithsonian as well.
