Default Honus Wagner cabinet

Posted By: davidcycleback

I sort of got the impression that the seller innocently bought the Wagner and Gehrig
at an antique store or flea market or such. I notice he lives in NY
State. Of course, innocent or not, anyone can look up and see when Wagner
played. And most would figure out that "Original 1928" and "image from 1917 or
before" are mutually exclusive. I know Chris figured the seller simply had the wrong
year, but it makes you wonder how the seller figured 1928 was the year. Even if
the cabinet was original, 1928 would be a strange choice. Most sellers, photo experts
or not, would assume it dated to 1917 or before.
