Interesting info on REA lot 41 Four Base Hits card

[oldjudge]

As might have been expected, the same mistake shows up in the Yum Yum set

The question that now remains is who this image is. The images in the Four base Hit set were shared with the Yum Yum and G&B sets. With the small number of images in the set, one wouldn't think that identification could be screwed up, but in at least two cases now it was. To mess up Van Haltren is somewhat understandable, he was a new player to the league. To mess up Anson shows that whoever did these cards was not a baseball fan.
The Four Base Hit set also included actors/ actresses and maybe other personalities. It is entirely possible that this image is not of a baseball player. I was one of the people who said that if this was the image of another baseball player other than Van Haltren then the price should not be affected much. However, if this is the image of someone other than a baseball player then the value would be significantly affected. After all, the rule for 19th century cards is that when there is a conflict between the image and the name on the card, the image determines the card's identity. The Williamson image with an Anson name is a Williamson card. If this image is of an actor, then it is an actor card, not a Van Haltren card, and it is relatively worthless.
