Default E90-1 Cy Young (Cleveland)

I'm looking for some opinions on this card:




Every time I look at an example of this card, I fail to see it as actually being Denton T. (Cy) Young. It simply doesn't look (to me) like him.

Do any of you have any information about this card actually picturing someone else (like the E98, etc... Cy Youngs all having the same picture if Irv Young)? Or is this actually Denton T. (Cy) Young, and I'm just not seeing it?

Thank you.

Steve

If it looks at all like him, the resemblance is slight. Not so unusual for cards of that era though, there are a number of examples of this phenomenon in the T and E sets.

Looks more like Shoeless Joe to me...

Cheers,

It's not that it looks like a different player - it just is a very crude drawing - like something my 5 year old would do.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I beleive this card, along with the E97 Cy Young, features Irv Young instead of Cy

Unlike E97 and E98 I don't think this is Irv and think it is a very crude Cy. This picture looks like he is throwing right handed. His "Irv" cards have him throwing left handed.
