Definitely Honus???

Sorry, but in the immortal words of Bluto Blutarsky, "nothing's over... 'til we say it's over."
Not Wagner... not Tinker... but either Honus O'Brian or Honus Harrelson.

Now that's funny.

This very much reminds me of the Marquard Youth's Companion that has been known as Babe Ruth Youth's Companion forever. We found the exact same pose and some folks still don't believe it. Whatcha' gonna do?

I'm not sure but I don't think Josh Groban was born then..............

My vote......generic artwork meant to kinda look like a lot of dudes.....like the matchbox that's supposed to be Ted Williams or the baseball bat pencils that are supposed to be Lou Gehrig. Generic....generic....generic.....

These are sold all the time as Ted Williams matchboxes even though they don't say anything about him on them. Ted Williams style of batting stance but still a generic player..........

+1.

Generic, but based on Honus Wagner. Just not a very accurate likeness.

+2?

So far that's what I'm going with- for my personal collection, Wagner- if I ever were going to sell it, there wouldn't be a name attached to it.

p.s. awesome photo shopping! I feel almost as accomplished as the 'owner'; of a different Wagner on this forum!

But to be honest, Joe Tinker would work too! Honestly, I have contacted and a lot of people who think it's Wagner and a lot of people who think it's Tinker (from that pennant). Either way, I love the artwork and I would be happy with a Hall of Famer like Joe Tinker with a..what's that Wikipedia?..262 LIFETIME BATTING AVERAGE AND 31 CAREER HOMERS??? OH JEEZE, COME ON GUYS, ITS DEFINITELY HONUS RIGHT???

Thanks, and we don't even have Photoshop.
