I'm almost POSITIVE this card features Shoeless Joe...

I took high resolution studio photos of my wife's collection and she has this card in excellent condition. Perhaps this image can be of help. It becomes limited by the halftone of the printing process as well as the file size restrictions I am afraid but if it helps all the better. Is he wearing a black armband on his right arm?

Did you miss the big T206 find on Antiques Roadshow thread? Might want to check that out then revisit this one.

Probably using the "Search" function. I'm not sure why you felt it necessary to be so rude to a brand new member. One who is here researching his wife's collection.

My apologies Dan, I had thought this was in the past 3 years ago and someone was playing games. i have since reached out to the new member....

After reading this thread for the first time, I spent six months obsessively looking to acquire this card. Since adding it, I've spent more time than I care to admit to looking at it under intense light, and magnification, and then rereading the discussion again. And I have to agree with the near consensus the other members came to after seeing the newspaper picture. It's him.

Now, will a publication ever take the bold step of identifying the center panel including him? We shall see. But I love my card, whether or not he's ever identified, because it has generated a lot of great discussion on the forum. So, the card will remain special to me.
