Another T206 Picture ID Mishap (Jack Bliss)?

[Beercan collector]

I like Rube Geyer but he already has a t206

I think I am on board with Eric the Beercan collector Rube Geyer train...it does look like him, and they are both righthanders, and both player's poses (on Bliss and Geyer cards) look like they are following through on a pitch.

Also Geyer's T206 is in the 460 Only print group, and like many other players multiple cards exist. A second (or actually in this case a first) card was possibly planned for Geyer in the 350 Only print group, but was accidently identified as Bliss.

Sometimes, ID can be so difficult. These are often rather crude drawings we're dealing with. Some are definitely more true to life than others. If I was a card collector, I'd be all over those M116s over T206 any day of the week.

I think the Geyer & Bliss photo is a credible argument — guy took the pics back with him and when communicating to the T206 gods flipped the names or something. I just think the T206 looks like Hoelskoetter. But, of course, we’re dealing with a drawing. Still, I do not see any resemblance to the actual Bliss guy. Shape of head, and facial structure nowhere close.

It definitely is great that you have shared something in the T206 set you discovered that possibly has not been previously mentioned. And fun for all to ponder and pursue.
