I got an E98 Irv Young in my first group of 5 prewar cards, and for 20+ years I just took it for granted that it was a card of Cy Young. The name on the bottom misled me (and buyers are to this day still forking out big bucks for its Cy designation).

I have to admit, I still consider it a Cy Young card...it says so right there on front, and he pitched for Cleveland from 1909 to 1911, so I have the right to do so!
