I agree completely with what Frank just said. I think it looks like him but the failure to disclose the info makes no sense and raises too big a red flag to be bothered. It's a nice item but hardly so rare so as to require a leap of faith like that.

Default Cobb !?
To me it looks like Cobb (Thinking T206 Green Portrait style Cobb) How old was Cobb in 1909 ? I think it is him, but older.

If his jaw was broke and face all swelled up it could be him otherwise he never had fat cheeks so not him, esp at 17 he was a stringbean so no way. If older he had wrinkles from all the wear and tear so don't see how it could be him.

My first thought when I zoomed in on it was that it looked like Ty's T206 portrait pose, like someone else mentioned. I voted yes, but not 17

Somewhat too subtle, but yeah, pretty close. Too funny. You now need to wait a month and offer to buy it.

Very rough comparison, ears, eyes & chin all align.

Bruce- good reference, not sure too many people got it.

And I voted it's not Ty Cobb in the photo.
