to me it looks like him but the face is a bit fat, but if he looked down slightly it might not be so fat
 The thing that makes me lean to its HIM, it the seller is in Augusta... If the seller was in Chicago or Portland etc, it would be a different story. The not disclosing info to bidders is a deal breaker though IMO If the guy on the left was associated with Cobb in some way (HS buddy?) thats a big deal and would go a long way in proving its Cobb. BTW the pen looks to be a fountain pen, and I think maybe they started to write "Tyrus" and then changed it IMO

I agree completely with what Frank just said. I think it looks like him but the failure to disclose the info makes no sense and raises too big a red flag to be bothered. It's a nice item but hardly so rare so as to require a leap of faith like that.

Cobb !?
To me it looks like Cobb (Thinking T206 Green Portrait style Cobb) How old was Cobb in 1909 ? I think it is him, but older.

If his jaw was broke and face all swelled up it could be him otherwise he never had fat cheeks so not him, esp at 17 he was a stringbean so no way. If older he had wrinkles from all the wear and tear so don't see how it could be him.
