Authenticating 19th century baseball cabinet cards

[Detroit58]

Will somebody please address. Set your egos down and look at evidence. I have a list of cabinets and I can show this proof for everyone of them. My frustration is with a club full of egos. Look at the evidence I present. Address. I’m not talking about what your ego is telling you to say. Address my evidence if you are able

I am not sure what evidence you think you are presenting. These are clearly not the same player. Just look at the ear comparison that is listed above. Also, I am not sure where egos come into play in this.

Collectors see whom they want to see and it is difficult to change their minds. Same thing has happened with Real Photo Postcards and Vintage Photos recently too.

I agree with Chris, authenticated or not, no one, at least not from here is going to pay top dollar for O’Rourke on that image. If you have already sold “Fleetwood Walker”, unauthenticated, why bother with these? The money you keep citing is not necessarily in 19th century stuff anyway, at least not to the extent it seems to be in more modern stuff.
