Would they have been technologically able to do that at the time? Take a photograph and cut and past it above an artificially generated body? There are some cards that feature players in suits and dressed up like the Jimmy Ryan. Why wouldn't they have just super imposed his head like the others? I think this is just an example of a card that has been mis-catalogued this whole time. It can't just be a coincidence that Dad Clarkson played for St. Louis at the exact time the card would have been produced and there is no J before the name to lead one to believe it would be John.

Edited to add:

Also, if there were brothers with the same last name playing at the same exact time, wouldn't they differentiate between them with initials unless it was the team name was supposed to give away who was who?
