I am always looking for an excuse to provide a link to the below thread that, in my opinion, convincingly suggests that E91 issues are not as generic as they have been identified as such for many decades. The artists creating the images seen in the E91A set (and almost half of the E91B set) utilized a photo of the player (as seen in cards from other sets of the era) to create the somewhat accurate facial likenesses seen in the E91A/part of E91B sets.

Here's an awesome modern interpretation of Jimmy Collins' famous portrait.
These are cool...

Jimmy is Eddie's brother, correct? Or am I making that up?

That would be cool, but it's not correct.
