Saw this on the SABR deadball digest

Posted By: Rich Klein

Please note this is not my research

After corresponding with a few people on this, it was suggested that there may be enough interest in this to merit posting it.

The 1911 T205 card labeled "Wilbur Goode" (sic) was clearly made from the Paul Thompson photo in the 1911 Spalding guide, page 77, there labeled only as "Goode", no first name given. Comparison with any of several accessible Wilbur Good photos (including contemporary newspaper photos) shows that this is definitely not Wilbur Good. Comparison between the Thompson photo and a June 1910 Boston Globe photo of Ralph Good yields an obvious match. Hence the T205 card is Ralph Good, not Wilbur Good (both members of 1910 Bos NL).

Regards
Rich
