T206 Doppelgangers
 

Hey, First off I'm brand new to Net54. I love the informative posts everyone's been sharing. Anyway, about 6 months ago I got into collecting vintage cards, particularly T206s, and I definitely have gotten the Monster bug. So much so that I'm starting to notice people that look a lot like T206 players. Just thought it would be fun to start a thread about T206 dopplegangers or look-alikes. Post celebrities, relatives, friends, whomever who resemble T206 players
To start it off:

Red Ames aka Nic Cage
Clark Griffith aka Jeremy Irons
Jimmy Collins aka Rich Sommer (plays Harry Crane on Mad Men)

Welcome.....
 

Great thread! that Collins is a dead ringer:eek:

Welcome man,nice way to break the ice. haha that Nic Cage picture cracks me up

Agree, Jimmy Collins is dead on!

I always thought Mr Chase was a bit of a pretty boy like someone else we all know..

newbie
 

welcome aboard!
The ames and the cage are mighty close!
all the best,
barry

Funny, I always thought Chase looked more like Matt Damon, but I can see the similarities with Brad Pitt too.

Here are a couple

Classic

Not a T206 but this one's a dead ringer for Buster...

Miller Huggins and Pete from Mad Men.

I am at work so maybe someone could help me out with pix but Ed Hahn always reminds me of a "Monty Python's Flying Circus" era Michael Palin.:D

Haha wow I can definitely see the resemblance.

These are all great. I never spotted the Huggins Pete Campbell comparison, but that is spot on.

Andy....
 

:) dead on !

Billy the Kid and Plank
 

Billy the Kid didn't die in New Mexico. He had a successful career in baseball.

That Kelley always bothered me, Nicholson is a dead ringer for him!!!!!!

I know, it's weird

That's a good one Scott.. Way to break paradigms!

This might be a stretch....

Women's wrestling champion

2 Yankees....

Pistol Pete

Fun thread

Nice one Erick, true dead ringer!

Haha love the Kaufman comparison.

Bresnahan/Riggle

Not a T206, but still...

(M116 Sporting News with the image inverted)

The guy on the right is much better looking................right Jeff? :p

Certainly don't share the same personalities.
Jennings aka Putin

Lotta fun....
 

I enjoyed this thread so much, I wanted to try and contribute...

Sorry these are not quite as good as some of the others....

Know this is a bit off the topic but thot I was the only that noticed these.... My monkey is the 55 Topps set and the Maddux/Elliott thing has always been something that struck me as "reincarnation"

I'm glad celebrity look-a-likes are back in the mix, so I thought I'd bring this old thread back up as there were some good ones posted.

Lately I noticed Art Devlin is a dead ringer of the boss character in the new AMC show Catch and Halt Fire. If you like Mad Men you'll love this new series.

.

Hahaha!!! Nice

Four More
 

Batch - Cabbage Patch

Davis - Kiefer Sutherland

McGlynn - KD Lang

and my favorite...

Mullin - Private Pyle

This is great.

Haha I love the Steve O and Dick Egan comparison. And the Batch and Cabbage Patch connection made me laugh so hard I almost spit up coffee on my computer monitor.

i just....
 

crapped my pants seeing some of these!! lol :)

.

Maybe you have all seen this one before...

Not a T206, but I came across this photo of Dave Bancroft the other day. Looks like a young Robert Duvall to me.

This is an absolutely amazing thread!

.

.

Not a T-206, but the minute I saw this Dan Dee of Walker Cooper, I immediately thought of Colin Mochrie.

:D

all of these are F*$% brilliant!

Here's another.

Ron Gardenhire and the late Burl Ives.

Wolverton/Sheen
 

Whenever I see the 1910 Wolverton Obak I think of Charlie Sheen.


Patrick

And yet another..........

Bobby Young and the late (and very scary) Boris Karloff.

Maybe a stretch, but Wojo portrait brought up images of Cole Hauser of Dazed & Confused and Good Will Hunting Fame

How 'bout this?

Jake Peavy & Jeremy Renner


Just for clarification: The top 3 are Peavy & the bottom 2 are Renner.

^^^^^^The Magee/Johnny Manziel is classic!!!!!!^^^^^

Now someone needs to find a Billy Vegas to go along with it :D:D.

http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=20228

Haha the Magee Manziel comparison is dead on.

Rossman and Cooper

Ames/Wilde
Waddell/Houdini

Maybe a little? :D

.

I still don't now how to post images but T205 Titus and Nick Cage is dead on.

Schmeling and Ferrell.

I am busting... Falling out of my chair.
 

I am belly laughing so hard... This may be the best thread I have seen in quite some time! So many spot on resemblances. The only way most of these could be contested would be to get our Net 54 Ear, Nose, and Throat guy to dissemble the theory it's not actually them b/c of the height of the ear lobes. You guys have out done yourselves... My personal fave's : Riggles, Putin, and Kaufman are spot on. Wow - Keep this thread going forever...

Resurrecting an old thread, but I couldn't resist. Bought this card card a week ago because of the odd red color. I thought it was recolored, but I don't think it was. Looks like ink (or hair dye) from the original printing.

Print experts, any theories on how this turned out the way it did?

Groom, Willis, and Huggins are pretty close, I think . . .

Harry Hinchman and Leon Trotsky:

And in the T205 set, Robert Ewing and the Village People biker guy:

Attachment 626140Attachment 626141


Brian

A young Mel Brooks as Hughie Jennings?

Not good at posting pictures but always thought that LA`s Rodney King could pass as Karl Malone especially when they got older.

Not a t206

Cleveland's Bill Bradley had Royal blood?

Even the ears are a good match...great job!

Brian

That’s uncanny , same narrow eyes , Identical nose , even the haircut

Haha, some of us collect the Monster, others collect random pictures of Monster member lookalikes.

Can you imagine if we tried to find dopplegangers for the entire Monster?

We'd end up with some pretty damned random comparisons, and probably annoy most of the board in the process.

Perhaps I'm crazy, but I always think of these...

Haha, love the Jesse Plemons T206 card. Spot on as Dummy Hoy!

An ace reliever and a victim of circumstance
 

...

Though Walter Johnson himself did not resemble Matt Dillon, his T206 hands at chest slightly does.
