Authenticating 19th century baseball cabinet cards

[Detroit58]

I would like to thank the king Kahoona for teaching me the side by side process. I never seen it before I encountered him. I am a person who understands gratitude. I always thanked Kahoona even when he disagreed. He didn’t understand my point of an ears appearance changing as a head turns. I also questioned on some flaws in his side by side. He admitted to the questionable work, but claimed it didn’t make a difference. Most of his backing of his argument were based of his flaws. At the end of the day the only thing he claimed made the image “absolutely not him” was the hair. His scale and tilt on the photos were off creating discrepancies in the hairline. That was most of his argument. Also he said the top of his hair didn’t match known images. There was no known photographs of the player for about a 4 year span wear he was hatless. He said “absolutely not him” based of a way earlier photo and a later photo. I gave him very valid reasons why his hair would be the style it was. Just the hair? He sent blow ups of his ear claiming smoking gun “absolutely not him.” My ear matched one of the known better than the other known. You can measure the inner ear details with a tape measure. Exact. Ask the kahoona what I owe him.
