Wrong front images on vintage cards.....show us what you have

Ted, here's a Horner photo from a 2016 Christie's auction. (not mine) Maybe the photo is early, like 1908, when he was 20. He aged fast I think.

Here are cards (E93 and E98) that have always been attributed as Eddie Collins cards, yet they actually picture Jimmy Collins. They played together on the same Philadelphia A's team in 1907 and 1908, Jimmy at the end of his career, and Eddie at the start. The grading companies still misidentify them as Eddie.

Thanks Rob

Eddie was a 19 year old rookie in 1906. Horner most likely snapped that photo back then, when Eddie was still a teenager.
