You are correct. I didn't read the full threads that closely and went with the weaker "not everyone agrees". As you pointed out, no one other than Directly felt that Comiskey was on the cabinet. I have no other source regarding the cabinet except the existing threads I referenced.
I also forgot point 5 which is that "there is a strong tendency to believe that the item you own features a famous player". In many cases, this is the most important factor that determines one's opinion.
I have personally fallen prey to this when I purchased the attached postcard thinking that Ty Cobb was fifth from the left in the back row. In fact, the postcard was sold to me by a dealer who said it was Cobb. Later I discovered that while, coincidentally, McGraw's Tigers was a Detroit-based amateur team, it was not Ty Cobb on the postcard.
