From the description:

1925-32 Walter Johnson real photo postcard. Published in Wingham Ontario by Zurbrigg. MLB Washington Nationals uniform. Not sure why Johnson was in Ontario. The Hitler Stacie was not drawn on. As you can see in some of Walter Johnson’s images there seems his pholtrum(ridge above his mouth) looks like the star track uniform insignia. Zurbrigg seems to be a well known photo artist. There are some flaws to the photo. Sort of looks unprofessional, but at the same time the photographer fleas maybe done on purpose. There is blueness to the cheek where Johnson’s mlles would have stood out. I think the Hitler stache was a side effect of what was a feeble attempt at hiding an unflattering feature of Johnson’s face.
No, the "W" on the uniform couldn't possibly stand for "Wingham".

I truly think the guy is probably delusional and thinks he's discovered some sort of life hack to identify photos with.

Let's just hope he never gets a job working for prosecutors in a court system somewhere as an "expert witness", or a lot of innocent people are going to be going to prison because of him.
