Nose tip also can droop when we get old - but nowhere near enough to account for the gross difference seen here, and anyway and in the exemplar photos of Waner he is not that old. Cheekbones are not visible in any of the images under discussion. Last edited by bmarlowe1; 08-10-2017 at 10:25 PM. |

I am not looking at the pictures off the site from where I sit, but the images that have been posted. The cheekbones are visible. Also, please feel free to compare the chin in the side by side photos of Paul Waner you provided and the picture of the young Paul Waner from my picture which you posted next to Waner in a Pirates uniform. I'm sorry, but it is Paul Waner. |

Assuming the chins matched perfectly (they don't) - it still can't possibly be Waner if the ears and nose don't match. Sorry for being logical. |

BTW, cheekbones are easiest to see in photos of very thin people (like female models). In people of normal weight, it can be very difficult to pinpoint the location. Anyone interested can google for a human skull and look for the bone usually labeled "zygomatic". Then see if you can find Waner's zygomatic bone. |

![]() It's Paul Waner. Sorry, but the points match and that, along with the other pictures I have seen of Paul Waner over the last 30+ years is good for me. |

I can't think of a better example of how collectors can come to believe the unbelievable. I am sure Brian actually thinks this guy is Waner and that there is no ill-intent at all on his part. Just be careful when you think you have found a previously unknown photo of a Hall-of-Famer (and don't forget to be sure that the uniform style dating doesn't correspond to the player being 2 years old).
