Its as Plain as the Nose on your Face-the Ear Thing isn't Gospel

[bmarlowe1]

Fact 1: I received a hi-res scan of your photo from a major auction house in 2011. They said it was from a consignor (or perhaps they meant a potential consignor). If it did not come from you, where did they get it?

Fact 2: Your photo will actually appear in a SABR newsletter that will come out very soon. Should be interesting.

So in retrospect are the opinionate saying , the Kid's face is a dead ringer for Comiskey. The Facts may be too convincing so he ears comparison may be the only way out?--

Here is something I really find troubling. I was told, just write the names on the back, everyone is doing it! Sorry now that's fraud.

Why is everyone up in arms when another hobby collector has another opinion?

Quote Runscott--It's Ok for two people to have a disagreement.

Tom,
No one and I do really mean no one here is saying that the rest of the kid's face looks like Comiskey. For myself, I don't think the kid looks even remotely like Comiskey, even without the ears.
Let me try to be as clear as possible.
What we are saying is that photos of 2 people can have many facial features match, but if one feature doesn't, then it isn't the same person. It doesn't matter which feature matches or doesn't. It could be the eyes or chin or jaw or any number of things. The point is that only one feature need to not match to show that the photos are of 2 different people. The fact that the ears are so different between your photo and any other known Comiskey photo prove, regardless of any other feature, that they aren't the same person.
Also, your point about a friend stating you look the same proves nothing. Most people pay very little attention to details. This is why so many famous people have stand ins that no one notices.

Mark,
Please make sure you post a link to the newsletter once it's done.
Perhaps you should send it to the HOF, Chicago Museum, Comiskey family, and the Smithsonian as well.

Thanks, nothing lost nothing gained, a article about my Dubuque baseball team Photo. About time. It only took twenty five years to finally get the hobby's attention!--I'm thrilled.

We should mention the Stars on the uniforms and the Star on Reis hat, this could be significant.

Any guess on the item on the floor by Laphams foot--??

Fact 1--good question on the Hi-res scan--wasn't from me.
Fact 2 --how can anyone write anything about my photo without my participation-? Shouldn't I be advised on the author?

I will call SABR for more information.--thanks again!

Stars could signify team captains? Object by foot could be (not joking) a crotch protector taken out for the sake of the photo.

Anyone can write anything they want about your photo.

So when I call SABR, who should I ask for?

I don't know. There are over 6000 members all across the country.

[Nashvol]

SABR will probably refer him to someone on this thread. Need the number?

I have a feeling you won't be so thrilled once you read the article. FYI, anyone can write about your photo or just about anything without your or anyone else's approval. Perhaps you have heard of the First Ammendment to the Constitution. You know the right to free speech.

I find it funny and sad that you keep bringing up player names, when you have yet to show any of the people in this photo are even on the same team, much less the people you wish they were.

You said it not me--"Free speech"--really, its my photo, and I can't even name my players!---

First off you're not naming them. You're identifying them and I never said you couldn't. I said it's sad and funny that you keep stating these names as if it's true, when you can't even prove that the players in the picture were even all on the same team.

Mark, I am completely against calling people names on the internet, but this guy is very similar to what I like to call "a Moron". I say "similar" because I see no reason to insult legitimate morons.
