Default Revisiting the Irv Young/Cy Young E97

Posted By: robert a

I don't think Irv Young or Cy Young played for Boston Natl. during 1909-10.
What's the deal with that? Irv was there in 1908.

To answer your question, I consider the cards to be Cy. Maybe I shouldn't.

I think we collectors go by the name on the card rather than the picture. Leon's Baker e104 is another good example of that along with the tinker/weaver mess ups.

And maybe this explains why the young is so tough for e97. You would think Young would be the card from the set that survived the most because collectors wanted to keep the legendary Cy Young, but since Irv is portrayed they didn't really care as much.
