Cy Morgan is really Benny Bowcock

[Leon]

and another scarce one...

Just so he isn't mercilessly teased, I think Benny should stick with the Cy Morgan moniker.

My Bristol Lord card is blank-backed, so I don't know if it's a 1910 NADJA or a Cullivan's Fireside. In any event, I tell myself that I have seen this face before.

Yes....of course, it's the face on the 1909 T206 Sherry Magee card.....albeit a reverse image.





Incidently......both Magee and Lord have the following in common......born a year apart in countryside towns in Pennsylvania.

Started their major league careers in BB in 1905 in Philadelphia.

T208 Cullivans will have their ad on back so yours is a Blanke - Wenneker Nadja (E104)

The "Lord" and "Baker" images were both included in the 1907 Sporting Life NL team composite. Both were correctly identified in the composite as Magee (Philadelphia) and Seymour (New York, but pictured with Cincinnati ca. 1902-03), so I'm still not sure where the mix-up happened. I'm fairly confident that The Sporting Life was the source, however, because the images for the Bender, Davis, Dygert, Mack, "Morgan," Murphy, Oldring and Plank cards were included in the 1907 AL composite.
(Please note, I do not own the cards pictured)
