certainly a strong resemblance, but
I went with No, simply because I thought Joe D was a lot leaner as a youngster...I could certainly be way off, but my recollection of earlier photos have him with a slimmer face...angles are everything though...fascinating discovery. It's entirely possible, and odd that this doesn't happen more often in photos from earlier times. Because as well know, back then there just weren't all that many people!

yes
I think it looks so much like him, I'd almost say no question it's him. I'd bet a ribeye steak dinner it's him.

It's absolutely amazing how split the board is on this image. Some are sure it is, others are sure it isn't. Usually we have pretty universal agreement on a photograph, but this one has a life of its own.

If that price ($30,000) was realized based on that guy being Joe D. - the buyer almost certainly made a bad mistake, as it almost certainly is not him. That guy is more than old enough to compare his ear to that of an adult Joe D. - and as far as I can see, they do not match.
If I was advising a client on that photo - I would say only pay enough for the Babe Ruth part. If I was asked to authenticate it as being Joe D. - I would not. I we can ever get that image in high res - Carlton will be buying me a steak. Last edited by bmarlowe1; 03-31-2010 at 01:55 PM.

A similar angle. Compare and contrast.

Bob Pomilla over on the Card side already solved this one so you might owe him a steak dinner Carlton.
The photo was taken in 1922 when DiMag was only 8 years old and it was taken in New York City.
