If you can't support your other IDs, and for example apply your "point system" to "Radbourn", why would anyone think you're right about Comiskey? And as Dave said, why would Comiskey be there if the others were not?

You don't understand the mustache theory (nor anything else), no one expects to see Comiskey with a mustache

Dave, thank you so much for your valuable insight. - In my opinion by just two short paragraphs you solved the mystery about my Dubuque photograph more than all of us put together X 100---everything you said is completely relevant and true to my photograph-- it hit me after reading your articles and thinking about what you are saying it suddenly became very clear to me, everything you wrote should be in a future SABR article-thanks, Tom

Trolling behavior.

Dave's input didn't imply to me my player can't possibly be Comiskey. He did point out Comiskey played baseball in Dubuque for four years, (the Comiskey age factor of 19-22). Comiskey did in truth play baseball with several different Dubuque baseball teams and ball players during those four years. So in truth the photograph could have been produced within any of those four years 1878, 1879, 1880 up to 1881. In fact the Rabbits team toward the end of 1881 was made up of anyone who wanted to play baseball.

So in retrospect Comiskey might had my photo taken with several different teammates within those four years!


I may someday take my Dubuque photo either to the Chicago Sun-times show or the National. thanks so far to the forum, members and readers for their patience.

Holy crap.
How dense are you?
You will say anything you can to prove it is what you think it is.

For the last time...
1) The team doesn't match therefore the context of a Dubuque team is gone. There is nothing in the photo to suggest it is from Dubuque.

2) The face doesn't match Comiskey.

It isn't Comiskey.

Two more hammer hits and I think you'll have it.

(I realize you edited out the word "hammer", but I think you got it right the first time)

Question: Why does one item after another from this particular seller/source have recent notations that were added, presumably to enhance value? It seems like there is a distinct pattern here to deceive.

Yup

Haven't looked at this thread for a few
days. Amazing that this discussion continues.

[murphusa]

if you have to work really hard to convince yourself that something is what you hope it would be,

how hard do you have to work to convince some one else that it is?

or put another way

what a f'in a**hole I am for believing this story and spending the money for this that now I need to find another a**hole to buy it from me

Same or me. Entertaining, no doubt.
