Happy New Year everyone!

Continuing in the "Who Is This?" vein, I was looking at the 3rd December Recent Pick Up thread this moring and saw Sgt. Hoss' cards.

Is it just me or does this not look like Hack Wilson?

Yeah, I guess the feet look petite enough, but facially it looks off to me for some reason.

I gotta say that ain't Hack Wilson. The guy on the card looks too thin, too.

Take a look at the stirrups/socks on the card and the images that are posted. Looks more like he wore a constant dark sock all the way up, unlike the supposed mistake from that card.

It looks like Hack to me but, they claim it's Art Wilson. Does anybody have a Art Wilson card to compare?

For many years, checklists noted that the "Hack" Wilson in the York set and related ice cream sets is not actually Hack. I guess the STandard Catalog must have dropped this practice.

It took a while to find it and it's not the greatest, but here is Mr. Arthur Wilson. I think we've found our man.

Good eye Tim. We may get to the bottom of this yet. It does look like Hartnett. We need a better picture though.
