Authenticating 19th century baseball cabinet cards

Brick wall alert.

Here’s my proof. This is Jim O’Rourke. Who disagrees. This is my confidence. I can take criticism if there’s something to critique. How do I authenticate this? Am I the authenticator? If you can’t tell this is Orator Jim, you aren’t the authenticator. All I asked is who authenticates. All anyone had to say is this isn’t Jim O’Rourke. Well?

[Detroit58]

This ain’t about ego. This ain’t about who has the best cards. I have a family to feed.

Neither of the cabinet cards can be authenticated as Jim O'Rourke, as neither are of Jim O'Rourke.

Keep in mind I just proved it

Let’s start with the Gilbert and Bacon with the side by side FBI comparison. What you got Doc anything but words?

[Detroit58]

I asked who is an authenticator. Everyone wanted to proclaim themselves as so. “It’s not him.” Oh. Here’s proof it is. What was everybody talking about it’s not him. I’m ready all at once or one at a time. What you got?

I'm just trying to understand this...is the image with two guys and the squiggly lines supposed to be the "side by side FBI comparison"? Don't they have a slightly more complex way of doing facial recognition over at the FBI?

Auction houses are in business to make money (so I hear) Auction houses LOVE having cool stuff from the early days of baseball (I've been told) Auction houses thrive on publicity of newly discovered items (I'm pretty sure) so what do you think the conspiracy on the part of auction houses against you stems from? Clearly what you claim to have would tick all of the boxes above, so why are auction houses cutting off their noses to spite their faces when it comes to your items?
