Getting the Record Straight Shoeless Joe Jackson Military service

[Lordstan]

I have to say, that even though the OP still doesn't believe us and thinks it's Jackson, this has been an incredible thread. It clearly shows the depth and breadth of knowledge on this board.
To me, the benefit of these type threads, beside removing or at least correctly identifying items, is the education I get from the many skilled people on the board. Learning how the experts do research is so interesting. For instance, I would've never thought of the history of typeface to be a key to spotting a fake. Now that I think about it, it obviously should be, but I don't think I ever considered it before. Just amazing.
I want thank all of you for being part of the board and hope you all continue for years to come.

The OP has posted a series of misidentified items on net54 in recent weeks. I think we should know his name.

Leon - what do you think?

That's what he says, but do you really believe it? Given that he also consigned the Amos Russie and the Fleetwood Walker?

Perhaps you're right.

It's a tough call. It could be that every time he sees an old photo, he 'sees' someone famous in it, because of extreme wishful thinking, then sends it to an auction house to make his fortune. I would probably believe this, except for the writing on the back of the Rusie piece. Still, perhaps he bought it that way from someone who knew he was a sucker for such items.

So all your talk made a nice Hauls of Shame article, I see!

THIS. I continue to be blown away. Thanks to all for the education at Net54 University.
