For $109 p/month over 24 months we may still never know.

Wow, usually these are so far off it's laughable. This one, though, is pretty close.

The left ears look similar, too. I'm undecided but lean towards not Christy.

A laughable no.

no
 
Looks like a proud trolley car conductor with that hat and fancy watch.

T206Collector 10-05-2018 12:19 PM

No... and not that close.

barrysloate 10-05-2018 01:01 PM

Not even close. Plain silliness.

Yeah, but the "Matty type" glove really sells the lot. :D

Dewey 10-05-2018 03:32 PM

No. But it is a dead ringer for Matt Christyson, the hall of fame bell hop.

However, around 20% of our members couldn't tell OR thought it is him?

Even though I might be the only one who voted yes and publicly admits it, I have my doubts too. But in my opinion this dude has the same eyes, mouth, chin, shape of face and nose (although his is a bit smaller...but we all grow into our noses), and the ears look even somewhat similar. If it is not him, he could have easily gotten work as a body double or even a cameo appearance as Christy Mathewson in a time travel baseball themed Hart to Hart episode.

The pic (profile) on the right looks like him to me but the middle doesn't and the left one has me undecided?
If the left one is him, it's him at a much younger age, imo.

Are all 3 of these pics on one piece of cardboard or paper or are they all individual shots?

drcy 10-06-2018 11:19 AM

My vote is it's not him and "I am unanimous." (For those who watch the BBC's 'Are You Being Served?')

Honestly, it's not him, and there's no need for a poll.

irv 10-06-2018 11:20 AM

Just did a quick search and found these. Not sure if this proves anything beyond a reasonable doubt, but it looks like someone else thought it was him in 2 pics at least.

Just found this one as well and we all know who this guy is. :)

the two side pics are for comparison and are well-known images. The center is the only one up for debate...

...or I'm losing my mind.
