Default WHO is "Billy Owen" .... a Fan Craze mystery ?
Posted By: Hal Lewis

Thanks for the Thanks!

Since the set was from 1906... then maybe the card was SUPPOSED to be for THIS guy who played for Boston in 1905 at age 19 for only ONE game:

The guy on your card looks about 19 years old... and the company could easily have gotten his name wrong since he was so unknown.
