I'm almost POSITIVE this card features Shoeless Joe...

I think you hit the nail on the head. It's possible the photographer touched up the photo so the reader could more easily see his leg over the lighter background. Everything about these pictures are WAAAAAY too similar for it not to be. It looks like the newspaper photo was snapped a tenth of a second after the picture on the T202 card.

Complete, wild speculation, in my opinion. Sure.

Brett --

While I'm not taking sides in the "it is" or "it isn't" Joe, I will say I don't believe the pictures come from the same slide. Not only the leg wrap, but my explanation of the SS positioning from my last post along with the newspaper caption saying it was a throw from SS. I think if it's Jackson, it's a different play at third...

Cheers,
Geno

Cmon Geno, the photographer not only blacked out the ankle wrap, he repositioned the shortstop. It is clear as day.
