Default 1895 N300 John Clarkson

Corey - I agree and that is what I was getting at above. The more I look at the Mayo set, there are a large number of cards that have jersey's which are drawn or superimposed. I do not think this would have been tough to do, even in 1895. Sure, they didn't have photoshop to ease in the process, but my belief is that the Clarkon card depicts John, despite what the jersey reads.

Addie, I hear what you are saying, too, but I just don't think this card depicts Dad. Just as you ask to look past the facial similarities between the AG and the Mayo and focus on the St. Louis on the jersey. . . forget for a second that the jersey says St. Louis and look at the shoulders up.
