1916 Boston Team Photo w/Babe Ruth???

I don't disagree David, his descriptions & due diligence on those items were lazy.

It's the 1915 team. ID's given in another photo from the same session:

I think this seller just needs to be more careful with his descriptions.

His Jeff Tessreau cabinet was a mix up because he DOES have a 1909 Shevereport cabinet with Tessreau and he does not hype that one up so I think he just got the ID's wrong.

The 1916 (1915) photo is an original and valuable Red Sox cabinet photo, just an incorrect ID on the Ruth/year

The McGraw was a scanner mistake and I bet he makes good on it.

I know the seller a little (sold stuff to him but never met him) and I know he has employees list stuff for him. I think he just needs to oversee the operation a bit more, but in all fairness its not like he is selling repros and forgeries or anything, there are WAY bigger issues on ebay. Just my thoughts.

To the seller's credit, he has now adjusted his auction description to remove Babe Ruth's name and has also significantly reduced his BIN price accordingly.

Seller did reduce it. It is still pricey but it is a bin and as mentioned, a nice non Ruthian piece. BTW, I take back my comment on the fuzziness of the photo. It is not so bad and I think I see "cheaters" in my near future.

Here is another auction, advertised for Bill Carrigan, that DOES have Babe Ruth, as seen on the left. No mention of the Babe at all in the auction.

We bust on kids for wearing their hats sideways or backward. Some of the old-time ballplayers didn't seem too concerned about "hat decorum" either Check Barry in this photo. Even as late as the Goudeys you see images of guys with their hats cocked off to one side or twisted around.
