Question about n172 Joe Miller vs. Tug Wilson

[prewinter]

As I understand it, there are three cards identified as Joe Miller, for which the photos are actually Tug Wilson. These were previously 324-1, 324-4 and 324-5. (What are their new numbers?)

I just saw a very old auction (May 2011) for a 'new' Joe Miller (link below), not in the Old Judge Book. My question is: Is this card of Joe Miller or Tug Wilson? It looks like it is closely related to the 324-1 pose, which would make it Tug Wilson (as I understand it). But the photos in the book aren't clear enough for me to see faces.

Can one of the experts clarify? Thanks!

The Mile High example is Joseph Miller, his 4th pose after you remove the three Tug Wilson cards and was assigned 324-4 - Bat at ready, looking at camera.

Tug Wilson cards were assigned new numbers 504.5-1, -2, & -3 respectively as outlined in issue #26 of OC: http://www.oldcardboard.com/ref/BBC-...il.asp?id=1268

"Tug" Wilson, you mean the boxer?

[Joe_G.]

Nope, although interesting Adam.

We are referring to the baseball player here: https://www.baseball-reference.com/r...d=wilson001tug

Not the boxer, although Tug Wilson the boxer would have been more widely recognized at the time. Image courtesy The Trader Speaks.

Adam,

You were thinking like I was. My thoughts were not the boxer or baseball player though. It was Kenneth 'Tug' Wilson who competed in discus at the 1920 Olympics and was president of the U.S. Olympic Committee from 1953-1965. He succeeded Avery Brundage in that role.
