I would suggest contacting Bill Hickman chair of the SABR Pictorial Committee. The goal of the committee is to locate a picture of every major league ball player, and my understanding is the committee has quite an inventory.

Bill can be reached at

just look up his Sioux City OJ card - that's what I did before declining to bid on that item you won on ebay.

You don't think it is him Scott? You may be right, I was too lazy to research up front. Dan. p.s. I don't smoke.

Why would anyone fake a photo of someone who was a minor player in the ML's for one year? I think it's probably indeed an uncatalogued card of some sort.

I know it is period and you are correct, why fake a so called common but with my luck it will wind up being some company executive of the period with a similar name - Gensin.

Though I now live in NC, I grew up in Rockville, MD and still have family there - Great city, small world.

I had it book-marked, and purposely kept quiet about it (I know, how odd for a board member not to blab), but in the end didn't find it all that interesting. But you and I collect different things.

I agree Scott, it was kind of a shot in the dark for me but pop found it for me while treasure hunting so it is good that I buy a few things he discovers, it keeps him interested in ebay. Have a super evening, Dan.
