It's absolutely amazing how split the board is on this image. Some are sure it is, others are sure it isn't. Usually we have pretty universal agreement on a photograph, but this one has a life of its own.

If that price ($30,000) was realized based on that guy being Joe D. - the buyer almost certainly made a bad mistake, as it almost certainly is not him. That guy is more than old enough to compare his ear to that of an adult Joe D. - and as far as I can see, they do not match.
If I was advising a client on that photo - I would say only pay enough for the Babe Ruth part. If I was asked to authenticate it as being Joe D. - I would not. I we can ever get that image in high res - Carlton will be buying me a steak. Last edited by bmarlowe1; 03-31-2010 at 02:55 PM.

A similar angle. Compare and contrast.

Bob Pomilla over on the Card side already solved this one so you might owe him a steak dinner Carlton.
The photo was taken in 1922 when DiMag was only 8 years old and it was taken in New York City.
