I mean if you are going to spend Cy Young money dont you want Cy Young to be on the card???

Jonathan,

You're not the only one who is bothered by this. I'll never complete those sets because I refuse to pay Cy Young prices for those Irv Young cards and I am always baffled by the prices those cards get.

I always thought this "angelic" looking image of Eddie Collins on his T206 (350 series) card is inconsistent with
his image on most of his other cards. For example, these two...…

I would appreciate your opinions ?

Ted, here's a Horner photo from a 2016 Christie's auction. (not mine) Maybe the photo is early, like 1908, when he was 20. He aged fast I think.

Here are cards (E93 and E98) that have always been attributed as Eddie Collins cards, yet they actually picture Jimmy Collins. They played together on the same Philadelphia A's team in 1907 and 1908, Jimmy at the end of his career, and Eddie at the start. The grading companies still misidentify them as Eddie.

Thanks Rob

Eddie was a 19 year old rookie in 1906. Horner most likely snapped that photo back then, when Eddie was still a teenager.
