Who Is This Guy?
This is a large print block that I have. I feel like I know this image but I can't place it. It is reminiscent of the M101 Shoeless Joe cards, but not a match. The face and body look more like Wagner. It also could be a generic pose, but it doesn't feel like that to me.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like Ping Bodie
Edit: I'll have to agree with Andy after seeing the image he posted. Hack Wilson. Last edited by Casey2296; 10-24-2020 at 09:40 PM. |

Thanks for making it clearer Bob! Definitely doesn't look like it might be Wagner anymore.

I am not familiar with that set, but I should clarify that I am not suggesting that this was used for a card - and I think it probably wasn't given the background and the size. I was hoping that someone might recognize the face/pose as it would be cool to link it to a real player and a photo.

Are those alignment holes on his shoulder, thigh, and forearm?

I've had pretty good success in printing off of old printing plates. Give it a try so long as you don't mind the effort.

The body dimensions don't look like Hack.
As you mentioned, it could be a generic pose, but even then, those are usually based on someone. Certainly, an interesting piece.

Sorry that I missed this question!
Those are the heads of the nails used to hold the metal plate to the wood block (just like around the edges).

I saw this sold already (on the BST page), but ultimately, the question of "who" is still unanswered. I took a picture, then changed the image using the negative feature. This is very similar to the printing process as it adds more detail and dimension to the subject image.
