Peter, I'll do you one better... how about the E92 Frank Chance, does that really look like him? Maybe it just throws me b/c I don't recognize Chance's booty!?!

How about E91 cards. For two of the three sets, they purposely misidentify the players.

About the E91's--the E91A set has been mostly confirmed (at least in my eyes) as being fairly accurate representations/designations of the players. The approximate half of the E91B set that retains the same designations as the E91A's I consider valid. The rest of the E91B's and all of the E91C's I would assume would have to be considered to be identified by the name designated on the card (for example the Walter Johnson E91C would have to considered a Walter Johnson card, even if the artwork was based upon Rube Waddell--if memory serves me correctly). The point earlier about photographic images versus artwork is an important factor in deciding how something should be listed.

Anyone have an N172 Anson in uniform for sale for half price since it is not Anson from the neck down?

Excellent point Jim!

Maybe the label on that one should read "Anson's head on Williamson's neck."

I do not mean to denigrate what is probably one of the top 5 cards in the hobby. I was just joking around. I think the larger question about when the faces don't match the labels is an interesting one. I don't have the answer.

Do we collect the photo/picture/drawing or do we collect the text. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around the concept that the "card" is who the words say it is even if that is not who is pictured. It seems very counter intuitive to me.
