PWCC auction - OJ Bid McPhee

[the-illini]

A friend pointed this out to me but since the auction is still running I thought I would share w everyone. PSA and PWCC both took the word of whoever wrote on this card and assumed it was Bid McPhee



Unfortunately a simple check reveals it is a Frank Fennelly card with the name changed by a previous owner...

Complete incompetence comes to mind on this one! Absolutely ludicrous.

This is going to make it far easier to finish my 19th century HOF quest!

I’d like Galvin, Rusie, Radbourne and Nichols please..

The back of the card says Frank Fennelly, photo McPhee.

So.........., despite the label, who’s picture is it?

Looking at the other McPhee and Fennelly cards, they are very very similar. Same setup. But McPhee has a wider belt and this card’s belt appears to match the wider belt of McPhee.

But I do think the photo is Fennelly by the ears.

According to the Old Judge book by Miller, Gonsowski & Masson, this card is clearly Fennelly. Looking at the McPhee cards, there is no card that matches this image. There is a similar pose of McPhee, but it is clearly different (more straight-on), than the Fennelly (more from the side).

That depends on how you define “matches”.
