This guy just recently came across my radar because he posted an ebay listing of a Nebraska Indians cabinet photo which he claimed had Chief Meyers in it. I messaged and told him he was mistaken. He spent the next 20 to 30 minutes telling me I was a blowhard, with no knowledge and I couldn't afford his photos. He did end up changing the listing to say that the photo had Chief Johnson in it after I told him that Johnson played for the NI team and not Meyers, but I also told him that Johnson was not in this photo. He listed it that way anyway.

Taking a peek at his other listings he has numerous photos in which he claims IDs of Honus Wagner, Cy Young and others that are clearly, CLEARLY not who he claims them to be. I was told that he is a member here who posts under a couple different accounts.

Knickerbocker360 and Detroit58

Here are his other listings.

I'm curious if you guys think that even if these were actual photos of Honus Wagner and Cy Young would they sell for his asking price?

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

Is this the guy who is always posting pictures here that he's convinced are of the most important people in the game from before their playing days? Then he asks for opinions and loses his mind when nobody agrees with him.

That guy is an absolute joke!

Bingo.

[slidekellyslide]

LOL, I just now noticed in the description that he thanked me for pointing out Chief Johnson in the photo when I did the exact opposite. Batshit crazy!

This is the same clown that has the 60K Wagner cabinet for sale. I think he uses some image comparator to tell him the image has a high probability of being somebody it isn't. I think there was a thread about this person in the past.

Yes, that's him! We should all email this guy and totally confuse him. Tell him it's actually Jim Thorpe...

[JollyElm]

He's the kind of person who wouldn’t even be able to identify HIMSELF in a photograph.

Couldnt find himself with a map and 2 hands

[Bill77]

I think he would have better luck getting people to believe his "Honus Wagner" cabinet was actually Paul Rudd.

[BobbyStrawberry]

I remember this guy. Mustache + similar head angle = the same person, apparently.

[esehombre]

He has a beautiful Honus Wagner Cabinet though...

Fellas, I just took out a 2nd mortgage, to buy this Honus Wagner Cabinet from him, for 60K. I'm going to be rich!

I made an offer of $.99 for the Wagner cabinet.

Fingers crossed.

[JollyElm]

Come on, guys, be kinder to this fellow. This is as dead a ringer for Honus as you could ever hope to find. Just squint your eyes so much that the building pressure causes you to go into convulsions, and you, too, will see Mr. Wagner...

Got to be the ears that gives it away.

It's Honus' cousin, Bonus Wagner Common misconception

[Jay Wolt]

Jolly that's awesome

[Rhotchkiss]

Wow. What a total dipshit.

Someone please find an old net54 post of his so we can go crazy on the dude and put in an early favorite for thread of 2023!

It is the guy that posted such classics as…

From just the title alone I had a few members come to mind. I was just happy to see it wasn't me.

Wow!! What great reading. Thanks for posting Rhett

That is a fantastic hypothesis. I think you will be hearing from the Nobel Prize committee quite soon. I will be proud to brag to my friends that I met you before you won the prize.

This dude has been trying to scam people for quite some time now. I can’t imagine anyone has been stupid enough to buy in, it’s so obviously BS that even the most inexperienced collectors won’t fall for this. He’s wasting his time. This might be the dumbest scam attempt since the guy who was selling “autographed” T218’s with their Boxrec records in the autographs.

This is beautiful work, Jolly, and it made my night! It belongs in the Haunted Mansion of Memorabilia!

Its obviously Honus Wagner, the red lines match up. Jeez, don't you guys know anything?

It's nice to have my genius fully appreciated. I will be sure to mention you in my acceptance speech.

Is this clown still with us ??

[Leon]

I just had a 20 minute call with the Detroit58 person. I don't think it's the same person, but he adamantly defended his incorrect photo id's. It was like beating my head against the wall.

Like George Costanza said: "It's not a lie if you believe it".

I'm terrible at doing these comparisons. I purchased a postcard that I thought contained a HOFer. No one agreed. Needless to say ... it was the last time I purchased a postcard hoping there was a face match to a known player .

On a lighter note ... there are multiple postings on the internet of historical doppelgangers of celebrities. Here's some I liked:

While nothing will ever beat The Bruces threatening to sue themselves, this has an excellent early shot at Top 10 all time.

Darren, that is awesome. Any way that you could do one for his Cy Young rookie?

[robertsmithnocure]

Looks like he has another Wagner listed. This one is only $150,000.

Here is a quote from his description: "I should be stunned if a soul on earth disagreed this is Honus Wagner."

[Fred]

Love the $150K Wagner cabinet!

How come fleabay allows this moron to advertise things like a $150K Wagner but will close down other $10 auctions because of questionable authenticity?

Could this possibly be the same person? The knucklehead would probably try and sell them as "Lurch Adams" pictures.

One day this dude is going to post a real pic of someone and nobody will believe him. Guy is a total crackhead con artist.

OK, I searched and found that post and it's outstanding! Some of the other Bruces posts were also gems! These posts were before my time here, but thanks for alerting me to them!
