I have to strongly disagree. How can a photograph of somebody not look like them? Regardless of whether or not it looks like him, is the card unappealing? That's the question being asked. I think the Johnson T206 portrait is one of the most beautiful cards ever made.

This card was released in 1909. Johnson started his career in 1907. When this card was in circulation in tobacco packs, Johnson was 20 years old, with a 19-23 career record. He wasn't even a star yet, and had 398 of his wins ahead of him yet.

The vast majority of pictures I've seen of the Big Train represent him later in his career. Well, this card portrays Johnson when he was still a kid, really. He's not going to look like a grizzled veteran at twenty years old.

Here's a tobacco ad of Johnson circa 1915. It is much closer in resemblance to the Johnson portrayed on his portrait card.

I vote for Egan, but ... the fact that Burns is shown wearing the wrong glove on the wrong hand makes it hard not to vote for that one.

How can it be the wrong glove on the wrong hand? It's either the incorrect glove on the correct hand, or the correct glove on the incorrect hand. No?
