Well, I'll just keep running with this then. I wonder if Halper had any other cdvs in his collection with modern re-backing, no provenance or i.d. that perhaps looked like Abner Doubleday laying out the first baseball diamond in 1839.
Here's the Verkman pic again, next to a later cabinet of Harry Wright that belongs to a friend. You can compare the eyes, ears, and upper head shape, but unless the clearly older gentleman on the wright had cosmetic surgery to get rid of his baggy eye-lids, there's little chance that the pic on the left is a younger version of the same man.
