Identification help
 
2 Attachment(s)
I picked up a small lot of T206, T205, T201, E120, Neilsons, W strip, Etc. cards, and included in the set was this card. I have no clue what this is. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you!
Patrick

Interesting. Some kind of cabinet card? Like the woman's shadow figure in the photo

Talk about a dual-exposure ghost image... ;-)

I think it's just a regular photograph of the time. Not really a sportscard until you can identify the player.

It appears to be a cdv of an, as yet, unidentified man.

Thanks for the replies. Given the set it was found in - I was hopeful that this was a cdv of some player I didn't immediately recognize. But who knows. Maybe it's just the father of the kid that owned the collection.

Cheers,
Patrick

Ghosts are as rare in the photography world as they are in the Baseball Card world and highly sought after . The person in the background as the ghost could be a Mother or dearly departed Wife or relative . Absolutely cool pick up .

Could that be Moses Fleetwood? Look at those ears! :p

I have seen a few of those ghost type images, very neat. As for the cdv unfortunately without some other provenance it's a common civilian.

Shoot, I didn't even see the "ghost" until somebody else mentioned it. :eek:

A couple years ago I was selling the Ghost CDV's for over $200.00 don't think they will go that high now .
