It could be a non-baseball image from the set, but it could also be any portrait photo the photographer happened to have taken and gotten mixed up with the ones for cards. The fact that so many of the images are incorrect leads me to believe that there was a fairly large mix-up of photos, like when you drop a pile of pictures on the floor (but a bad analogy as we're probably talking about mixing up glass plate negatives), and in the process of figuring out who was who, mistakes were made.
So this could be Joe Blow who just happened to have his portrait taken at around the same time as the ball-players.

As far as cutting off the chin - I guess you are refering to the location of the bottom-most red line that I placed across the side-by-side of the card guy and Moolic. Given that the Moolic portrait is a dot-matrix print - I can't be too precise about where his chin ends (i.e. the bottom of his chin) versus where the shadow begins - it is often gradual and a somewhat soft boundary point. What I did is an estimate based on doing this for many images. The relative size of the images was adjusted with reference to the eyes, base of nose (line not shown) and mouth.
My view is that it is very unlikley (though possible) for the card guy to not be Moolic given that Moolic's first name is George, he was a member of the 1886 Chi NL club
and he also shares the physical characteristics with the card guy that I pointed out. Look at post 21 (without the arrows in the way) - the similarity of the dimple under is lower lip is remarkable. If you (or anyone) don't think it's likely to be Moolic, please tell me why.
