"...while a reverse pencil notation, which confirms the hurler’s identity, factors into the technical assessment."
Such a pencil notation should never be used to confirm identity, only provide further support for what had already been determined. Years ago in the Copeland sale at Sotheby's there was a purported cabinet of Henry Chadwick, an ID confirmed by his alleged autograph on the verso. The image bore as much resemble to Chadwick as this one does to Radbourn (i.e., highly dubious) and needless to say it was later shown to not be him. Absent further corroborating information not disclosed in the lot description, I think it was very irresponsible of Huggins & Scott to identify this image as being as being of Radbourn. And I think the low price is a reflection of the market's skeptism it is him.
