Need Help Identifying RPPC

>>>You asked where did the Big Ear lobe go ? The angle does not permit to see the entire ear lobe. Look at his other ear and you can see the big ear lobe on his left side in the Fan Craze photo

Yes exactly - he is looking absolutely straight at you and you can see his left lobe but not his right lobe - what does that tell you? It tells you Bay's ears are not symmetrical and that he has a very small lobe (if any) on his right side - just like the "grainy" photo (amazing, huh?) and completely unlike your photo.

This ear asymmetry (and the wide lower part of his nose) is also seen in another 1906 Bay photo below.

BTW - compare the left ears in my "grainy" photo and yours, with both heads turned slightly to their left by about the same amount - not only does your guy's left ear stick out a lot more - but the angle with respect to the head is different.

>>>I think you will see 2 different size noses down the bridge...

I don't see that, and I never said anything about the bridge of his nose. The bottom/tip of his nose is very wide. It's is easily seen in the 1903 photo and the 1904 photo. If you go to the Boston Pub Library and take a look at the 1902 Cle team headshot composite - you will see the fan craze photo without the darkroom softening applied to it for the card - and you will clearly see his nose is wide at the bottom. Your guy's nose is narrow at the bottom.

What concerns me here is not you and your photo and what your conclusion may be - I know you are honest and just mistaken. But, the types of arguments you make mirror those made by sellers in a number of fraudulent cases I have seen. This also illustrates why such sellers can always find a buyer.
