New Buck Ewing cabinet card, provenance needed?

I can't believe you guys are falling for this...

This is all about the New Adam Sandler-Safdie Brothers movie will focus on high-end sports card collecting thread. Obviously, this guy is a writer for the movie and he's doing research on the the N54 community. Sheesh, didn't you guys see that coming?

Seriously - that Wagner rookie at $60K is just too much. I see the fleabay feedback rating and number of sales and something just doesn't add up. What other choices are there:

• The fleabay account was hijacked
  
• He wants to balance out the feedback (it's way too positive)
  
• He's trying to become a character in the Sandler movie
  
• Post your own theory
  

If the Wagner was a recent ad to the ebay postings, then this is just really sad on the sellers part. I can't believe fleabay allows stuff like this to occur. Perhaps they just don't have the horsepower to monitor this crap.

Guys, back off - he made a simple typo. It's not Honus Wagner in that listing - check the hair and you'll see it's obviously Joe Tinker!

I expect the listing to be corrected shortly - and with this new match, the price should easily be over $100K!

I have to assume that he is just having a good laugh at us at this point. Here are the comparison photos that he used for his Wagner image ebay.

To me it is almost an identical match, but as can be seen in the photo on the left, Honus had hair growing on the outside of his ear, while the near identical Honus lookalike on the right has clean shaven ears, so obviously a photo match can be ruled out.

Now if only there were some computer facial recognition experts on here that could confirm that these photos are not both Honus...

I should have realized this. I’m sure they’ll cast Brad Pitt to play me.
