1958-59 Heinerle: Curly Neal or Bob Gibson?
I've seen auctions describing the player depicted on this card as Curly Neal. Others say Bob Gibson. Which is it?

I don't think its either. Curly was a globetrotter starting in '62 and Gibbs was busy breaking into the majors in 58.

Great card.
It looks like the player has a pencil mustache (correct?). A few of the Globetrotters that year sported that look. It looks to me like Herman Taylor or Tex Harrison but I couldn't be certain. It would be cool if it was Wilt Chamberlain (he was with the Globetrotters before joining the NBA) but I don't think it's him. The roster for the 58-89 Globetrotters was: Wilt Chamberlain Herman Taylor Clarence Wilson Tex Harrison Meadowlark Lemon McCoy Ingram Roman Turmon Millard Harris Ed Burton

Neither, and it ain't Meadowlark. This is:
 ML was #36 and (not surprisingly) he was talking in the image.

I decided to go down the rabbit hole on this one.
Based on this picture I can see why there are people making the claim. Bob Gibson Basketball.jpg -Pencil thin stash -Similar build and musculature, especially in the arms. -Similar distance between eyes and hair line -Similar nose. I'm not saying it is Bob but I can see why that's out there. Quote:
