Thanks for the list Rhett, so I was sort of right. Look at the Rose company photo:
http://oct13.hugginsandscott.com/cgi...em.pl?lotno=22 This is the photo, that the T206 Sharpe card used. T206 did switch the Hinchman and Sharpe photos and then they further messed up Bill and Harry.

The old "double switch!
Corrected version. So if I'm following at home correctly, the T206 Sharpe (Newark) is actually Harry Hinchman not Bud Sharpe and the T206 Hinchman (Toldeo) is actually Bud Sharpe...which gives us the old "double switch."

Flip Flop
So, in theory, Sharpe collectors might be Hinchman collectors and Hinchman collectors might be Sharpe collectors...no wonder Pete hates "The Monster!"

I wonder what the players thought back in the day. If they said anything. Great work by everyone in finding this.
Don't you think some of these guys got their card and said, umm, that's not me. Besides these cards, the Wright and Kruger cards being wrong, there is also Bill Clymer showing Otis Clymer, so at least five cards show the wrong player.

Nice job finding the matching Rose card, but the conclusion given above is wrong.
The guy on the Rose card (below left), that is a perfect match to the t206 that started this thread, is obviously Harry Hinchman (exemplar repeated below center). Note that that ears match. Bill Hinchman (right) has a differently shaped ear. Therefore the guy in the post that started this thread is Harry Hinchman. Last edited by bmarlowe1; 02-02-2014 at 09:18 PM.

Oops again. I feel comforted by the fact that the card companies of the era had trouble sorting the Hinchman brothers out as well as many people since.
At least the 1908 Am Pub Co team postcard seemed to get it right: see http://www.sportingoregon.com/p799838731/e1573f694 So the Rose Co. card is wrong and T206 swapped photos on Harry Hinchman and Bud Sharpe. Thanks, Mark, for patiently reposting the Hinchman portraits.

Very nice find Rick!! So, that answers my question. The player featured on Bud Sharpe's T206 card is actually Bill Hinchman. Bud Sharpe on the other hand is featured on Harry Hinchman's T206 card. Very nice work by all
