Default Is that really Bill Abstein on the T206 card?
I have wondered about this awhile, and finally decided to throw it out there. When you compare to photos of Abstein on C46 and M101-2, the T206 image doesn't really look like the same guy. Any thoughts? If not Abstein, any idea who it might be?

Yes, its the same player. The C46 is the best representation. T206s don't really capture the details of players' faces that well. Abstein's face looks bloated on the T206.

You may be onto something there as that doesnt look anything like Bill Abstein...


Of all the 1909 Pirates imo the guy looks most similar to Lefty Leifield (minus his characteristic dimple chin)

You have a point... His T205 card. Same vertical nose, chin, ears line up correctly, eyes are closer together.

I don't know. I suppose we could take a vote, but I might find myself absteining.

Default Abstein
That's what I was thinking too. Looks more like Leifield than Abstein.

Also, take a look at this team photo with a squared up shot of abstein. There's no way that t206 image is for him.
