Any Idea of Why This Went So Cheaply?

No you did not. Please re-read my response just after you blew up, and also Jim VB's reply - this time s-l-o-w-l-y. The re-read your initial posts, again s-l-o-w-l-y.

Along with photos, you seem to have a problem with word usage and the plain meaning of language.

>>>Show us another photo of both players...

Huh? There are many photos of Radbourne, I posted for comparison one of the best that we know of, which happens to be at an angle that is at least similar to the head of the guy in the Bodie cabinet.

The guy in civies in the Bodie cabinet is unknown - hence we don't have any other photos of him. Get it Bradd?

>>>they have eerily similar noses, ears and hair-lines.

The real Radbourne has clear, obvious hair loss on his left side in the are above the ear. The guy in the Bodie cabinet does not.

-------------------------------

Thanks to all for the support. I was actually harder on Nashville Jeremy a couple of weeks ago, but it all slid off of him like water off of a ducks back. Like faces, people are all different - some more than others.

I do get it, and I apologize for hastily responding to your response to my post. A cooler head would have been a better option. I still find the response rude and quite insulting, but I'm over it. To the topic at hand, I say they are eerily similar in facial features and hair can be cut. I'm certainly not saying this is the same man, but to say they have no similarities is crazy talk. I'll stand by my original assessment that they have nearly identical noses, ears and hair-lines. If in the photo of Radbourn he was facing the camera, it would be much harder to dismiss them as the same person.

Bradd,

Repeating what I said after you blew up: "Perhaps jumping on your case personally that way was not very tactful (sorry)".

>>>and hair can be cut....

In all of Radbourne's capless photos from his playing days - this area lacks hair. This is a pretty weird haricut you are postulating.

If this is important enough to you that you want to get better at it - I would be happy to provide references for you via private message.

I should add that this photo has all the earmarks of a fradulent past -
- alleged 19thC HoF'er
- not in uniform
- not grouped with other known players
- name penciled in somewhere on the photo
- no provenance

Hi James from H&S. Yes Leon - we should be cordial - I will try.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm "not there" yet when it comes to pre-war or 19th century stuff. I'm a newbie in this field. I am only at post-war graded HOF RCs, but I am working my way backwards, so I'll be here someday. I'm kind of just here browsing and soaking in info at a slow pace. Thanks again.
