What the hell is going on at SGC with photographs???? They shouldn't have anyone in their employ who can not tell the difference between Frank Chance and Joe Tinker. I don't care if it was submitted as Frank Chance they should know better...I hope this was slabbed prior to their issue with the JL Wilkinson postcard because they were going to be a lot more careful with photo identification.

As to the auction house, from what I've seen from some of them, they just don't recognize the faces of significant early ballplayers. And - that photo is not "turn of the century" as Goodwin is hyping it - it is 1906.

This reminds me of the 1906 Library of Congress photo below which had been labeled as Joe Tinker for over 100 years. It even passed one round of SABR scrutiny before finally being corrected.

Is it just me or does the left edge look odd?

I didn't realize there was a photo of the card. I'm still on Chapter 3 of the written description.

Look at the enlarged scan, left edge middle to bottom?

Well, birthdays are merely symbolic of how another year has gone by and
how little we've grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better
self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake, we know it's not
to be, that for the rest of our sad, wretched pathetic lives, this is who we are
to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably; happy birthday? No such thing.

Wondering if SGC has come to verdict as to if the card is a new Brown variant or not?

Anyone know?
