This Photo Is Driving Me Nuts

Anyone else seeing Jack Bastian's T206 here?

Regards,

Richard.

Except for maybe the cap, and what appear to be stands in the background, I don’t really see a baseball player here.

Looks like a doctor, in a suit and overcoat carrying a medical bag to me.

Awfully young to be a doctor and that bag is awfully big.

Umpire? Trainer? Not a lot of pics of players dressed like that on a ball field.

It doesn't look LIKE someone I think I recognize. I recognize THIS image. I have seen this exact picture somewhere before.

Hard to argue against the similarity

Not seeing the Bastian thing other than it's a guy in a coat.

And a hat

But I do agree with you. When I look at T206s and their original images, they are often quite accurate (even after the artist takes some creative license). If I give this photo/card that treatment there are a lot of differences before you even get into comparing specific facial features.

Consider the location of his ear, for example. In the photo, his ear rises above the bottom of the hat. In the card, the ear doesn't make it to the bottom of the hat, and more hair is visible.

Anyway, the photo still does make me think of that specific T206, but I sure don't think they are the same guy.

If You have it available...
i'd take it out to see if there's any evidence, clues, etc...

I do but still haven't heard back from the consignor to get permission. Hall of Fame couldn't identify it though they agree it is likely a baseball player.
