I am trying to be objective(seeing as I have the photo
). I would obviously love it to be Wagner(no doubt). I definitely see nothing that disputes it being Wagner other than simple opinions. The biggest arument is the batter's build(not sure it is off). Everyone has their opinion but I am sure SABR had some reasoning why they deemed it Wagner.
As far as the writing on the back goes, I crossed that to everyone batting in those two games and nothing makes sense. Therefore, I dismiss it completely as anyone in culver after it was taken could have guessed/made a mistake etc. Again, the Library of Congress doesn't even say who it is. It would have been much easier if the names would have been engraved in the negative like many of the BAINS. Oh well.. the controversy continues. Thank you all for your thoughts and opinions.
