Great Card, Wrong Player Image

Not my card anymore but he is throwing left on this card....even though the profile on the E90-1 series (and other cards of the same pic) looks similar.....

This is Irv and when I bought him, a long time ago, I thought it was really CY.

I don't think this has been posted yet. It's the deceased Ken Hubbs, not Ellsworth.

Hi Leon,

Agreed that E97 is definitely Irv Young.

But I was convinced (as were many other posters) by the image one of our members found of Cy that the E92, E90-1 (Cleveland), and other E cards using the same rendering that it was a somewhat poorly drawn depiction of an actual Cy Young photo.

The dyslexic in me noticed that George Bell's E90-1 shows him as left handed. He, of course, was right handed (T206s and any reference). Being not much of a facial image, it could be some one else, or a reversed image:

My statement was supposed to be in favor of the E92 types really being Cy. We are in agreement.

Do you have a link to that thread, Blair? I remembered this thread showing a newspaper article proving the Cy image was a reversed Irv: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...=124640&page=2

Hi Daryl,

Can't seem to find the originating thread, but check out post #26 of this thread where the issue arose again:

Thanks, Blair. Now I'm definitely confused.

I still don't think this card was supposed to picture Cy Young just because it says Cy. Irv Young was called Cy Young back then, sometimes Cy the second, but do you really think they would write out all that on a card? In the early days, they had no problem repeating nicknames if players had the same last name. Even Harley Young was called Cy Young and he went 0-3 in his brief career. If you ever read old papers from when both Cy Young and Irv Young played, sometimes they called Cy Young "Old Cy Young" to differentiate the two players. In my opinion, there wasn't any mistake on that card.

The 1963 Topps card #113 of Don Landrum is actually Ron Santo.
The 1959-1960 Topps Football cards of Green Bay Packers Jim Taylor actually are cards of Chicago Cardinals Jim Taylor.
