But the N403 is a portrait photograph. And there is no way that's Cap Anson. It kind of hits you a little harder here.
I can let the E97 Young slide but no way this portrait can ever be Cap Anson. So as I said why not have both Anson and Dalrymple on the label, not just one. Does that make sense?

Barry - I think you might be confusing two issues. One is a discussion of what the current hobby convention is, and it's clearly to use the intended subject of the card, as dictated by the description, not the image. The E97 Young image is conclusively Irv - it's the same image used for Irv's T206, yet the card purports to be of Cy and is cataloged/slabbed as such, due to the name/team on the card; the same for the Terry I mentioned. The other issue is what
should be, and on that, your point of listing both on the flip is reasonable.
