Carl Horner photo- ID help

Carl Horner Red Ames cabinet on eBay: http://tinyurl.com/ykhjgd5
"Only small amounts of front surface paper speck loss takes away from the overall grade." Virtually pristine, you might say. SGC is really hard on paper loss.
(Not wishing to rekindle the Ames vs. not-Ames discussion).

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

SGC says it's Ames.

Jimmy: The eBay Horner cab of Ames is the same image as was posted earlier in this thread (posts 14 &19) in an attempt to match up with Leon's cabinet. The fact that SGC has ID'ed the New York ballplayer as Ames still doesn't prove that Leon's guy is Ames. There seems to be two distinct camps in this thread: Mark and his objective methods and everybody else who thinks it sure as hell looks like Ames. The point of me posting the eBay link was, well, I don't know what the point was, except for it was marginally relevant to the subject at hand, and now I wish I hadn't because it might beget another round of disagreement. Anyway, it would be a dandy cabinet to add to one's collection were it not for those pesky specks of paper loss.
Over and out.

The photo on eBay is Ames. The photo Leon inquired about is another human being - one of the at least thousands of contemporary white males who had some superficial resemblance to Ames, but on close inspection of details the differences are very clear.
