We all knew when we read the 1st post that there were only three acceptable responses: "It's Wagner", "It's Jackson", or "It's both". It's tough to face such limits when approached for expertise.

I remember when a guy was trying to convince me of the authenticity of a 'Honus Wagner' CDV, and my response was simply "But the guy doesn't look like Wagner." Despite other issues with the photo, that was sufficient response.

I definitely introduced myself to the forum in a very very abrasive manner LOL. No apologies necessary Leon offered to post photos and help me and I accepted that help. My dad‘s collection is super meaningful to me and I’m not looking to benefit financially or to gain attention from it. I truly want to figure out who the people are in the photographs are

I do notice that the guy in the middle looks a lot like Walter Johnson in his early T206 cards |

I think the easiest way to go about your research is to attack it from the player end instead of the photo end. Tons have been written about both players in question yet I have never seen anything about either of them playing for any Polytechnic. That would be enough for me as opposed to hope outweighing evidence and convincing myself that I have new information about two of the most researched baseball players ever.

I wouldn’t say it was hope pinpointing those people I was just following my dads notes from 1980 something. I’ve tried researching Polytechnic Institute but it led me to a long history of the college and how the names were changing and I can’t pinpoint what year it would be. Based on the photographs in the photo I’m guessing really late 19th century/ early 1900s?
