I found this, which Sharpe obviously doesn't look like his T206
http://loveofthegameauctions.com/lot-389.aspx# Doesn't look like Hinchman either, hairline doesn't match. Looks like Sharpe was balding. If you look, most of the T206 minor leaguers were based on this. Not sure I see any that look exactly like the T206 Sharpe, but you have to remember it's just a drawing of a picture, so it might not be exact

That's a good find John!! After viewing it, I still believe that it resembles Hinchman in T206. Since Sharpe wasn't playing for Newark in 1910 when the 350 series was issued, I think that we would need to find a Newark composite from that year to ID what player is on the Sharpe card.

I don't find a resemblance on any of these players either from 1910.

A lot of the T206 portraits are older shots. For instance, the Lucky Wright picture is actually a picture of Eugene Wright from a 1903 Horner photo. The Otto Krueger is a 1904 photo and it's actually supposed to be Art Kruger, who was playing for Columbus at the time. So both of those cards showed the wrong player and used much earlier photos

Every photo I can find of Sharpe looks like the Hinchman M116/T206... long face and bulgy eyes. Hard to find pictures of Hinchman, but I see Rhett has this pic on his starsofthediamond website (and apparently is selling the group of Colgan's on B/S/T
 ): I can imagine Hinchman's face being painted that way. Seems plausible that they just accidentally swapped the Hinchman and Sharpe photos before the artwork was done.

I need to erase those old messages because people keep skipping the message where I found the composite and changed my mind. Please disregard the earlier messages, which I will now erase to avoid further confusion. That Hinchman photo I first used was from his Baseball Prospectus page and can be easily found with an internet image search. That is where I got it. That was posted before I found the composite photo online and we moved on from there
