What you see aint what you get
 
Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>I wonder how many of us are holding cards which we think represents a specific player, but it does not even contain his image. The Irv/Cy stuff was today's comedy. But how many of us know that a 1921 Exhibit of Shanks is really Wally Schang? Or worse - why would anyone care? But we do.

Posted By: <b>John S</b><p>Gil,<br /><br />The one that immediately comes to mind is Bill Wambsganss. The image used on the majority of his cards is Fritz Coumbes. I realize that this is documented in the SC, but all of his cards command somewhat of a premium because of the unassisted triple play. I have never seen a seller disclose this information (wrong player pictured) on eBay. His actual image is used on e220's and V117's. <br /><br />The Colgan's Hinchman is listed as Harry in most of the checklists but is actually brother Bill.
