Default 1895 N300 John Clarkson

Also, if the Nichols card was superimposed, it could be just because they didn't have a photo of Nichols to use for the set so they used an older one and superimposed the team name. However, Nichols still had played for Boston for 5 years before the card was produced by Mayo. Similarly, both Brouthers card feature the same image with a superimposed team change. The same can't be said for the Clarkson card. It is clearly a Dad Clarkson card and not a John Clarkson card and should be catalogued and viewed as such regardless of whether or not it MAY feature John. For them to use such an old photo of John to represent Dad Clarkson doesn't seem logical to me at all.
