1879 Dubuque Photo -Will the Real Comiskey please stand up or sit down?

[springpin]

Leon,

How much money would each member have to pay the board to make this thread stop? There is nothing of redeeming value about it anymore. Please?

[perezfan]

Agree...

Please put us out of this misery, and lock it. I was hoping that we as a group could resist the urge to respond to this nonsense. But apparently the urge to set the OP straight was too overwhelming...

It's time to say sayonara...

There's nothing in this thread that warrants it being locked. No name calling, no nastiness. While we all may agree there is nothing to debate here and Directly hasn't exactly given us any real facts it's an on topic post.

I'm not the new kid on the block either. Before selling my retail building location in 2006 I was a SportsNet member and later DealerNetB2B. Many of those past contacts are probably gone, but If anyone out there is reading this topic-HELLO AGAIN!

Vaguely looks like Comiskey--PLease---any true baseball photo collector should know better--I own the photo and I am starting to believe thats the problem--is it?

Sorry--just another error who told you ears won't change with age?--Fact: Time will tend to cause our faces to change and the ears to droop, its call gravity.

The ear scenario presented as comparisons in my opinion is extremely so close, not to be conclusive at all. If I offended anyone due to this opinion, I'm sorry!

I hope the keepers of the NET54 forum monitor this topic and see my presentation as being in good taste, in a fair and dignified manner, constructive, informative and educational.----Thanks!

Mark is our resident expert in facial recognition. You've lost him completely, and we all agree with him.

Strike 3. Go back to the dugout.

Earlobes can droop with age - this typically becomes evident around age 70. This is almost never seen when comparing faces of men of ball playing age.The faces in post 3 were sufficiently young so that age droop would not be a factor. In any case, droop would not explain the obvious difference in shape in this case.

I have presented only the facts. If there is such a thing as destiny and I was allowed to find the photo, I can't answer this, if so I will do to my best to protect the photograph for the future generations.I will keep all the documentation with the photo so hopefully it will never be lost again for the time someone much better qualified and deserving than me to be its keeper. -I attached the 1910 photo of Comiskey looking out over his new baseball stadium! Please just take one last look, and thanks again!

Important note:--By the way this is the first scan of the original ever posted or released and its just at 12 megapixels--so is this a professional high res scan--please!!

Last final note for the record: The local Baseball team during the time my photograph was made were named the Dubuque Rabbits.--

I will be addressing my photo with a professional facial expert for a second opinion--.-one should always get a second professional opinion with a photo of this magnitude, don't you agree?--if its permissiable to the forum I may post their conclusion?--the conclusion either way could be a extremely interesting article ---

Comiskey was named the Old Roman--do you know why?--
