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

[Vol]

Great thread.
I say it is Joe.

Now, off to ebay!

You know - there is another card in the T02 set that looks identical to Joe... White sock on ONLY the right leg, sliding into a bag. Actually, of note, there are MANY cards in the T202 set that feature a Cleveland player sliding into a bag.

Eberfield/Milan looks like Joe, so do others...

Has a photo been found that is the same image as one used in the center panel of a T202?

Careful Jon, you're going to cause another buying frenzy.

And I'm thinking of the eBay sellers that have been sitting on their T202s asking 2x what the last one sold for, as they do all their cards, and they just made some sales. So glad we could re-enforce their business practices.

Well - since at least a few people here liked my post - let me hijack this thread for a moment and plug the Pictorial History Committee photo analysis newsletter that I write for SABR. It's called "Mystery Photo" for internal historical reasons - but that name really doesn't fit. It's all about rational photo analysis

They are all available for download, starting with the April 2008 issue, for exactly $0 each (I guess it would be a better deal if I paid people to download it).

The first few issues were weak - but I think it's gotten better over time (at least longer and more controversial). The May 2009 issue was devoted to photo auctions. So if you have nothing better to do, here they are from newest to oldest:

The center panel for the Too Late for Devlin T202's, show a Cleveland Player sliding in that resembles Joe Jackson.http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/.../2010/389.html

Next thing you know someone will say the guy on the Grassy Knoll in Dallas looks a lot like Shoeless Joe.

Mark: I just joined SABR a few months ago and hardly a day goes by that my email inbox doesn't have something from one of their committees. I just received your latest newsletter regarding the Richmond-Fatima Giants connection. It neatly summarized your discovery which was discussed on this board a few months back and made for a very interesting read. Rest assured that at least one of our ranks, namely me, will be part of your loyal following.

On another note, where's Ryan Christoff already in this thread? He is the go-to guy for JoJax spotting, is he not?

[Matt]

Mark - just finished an issue - great stuff.
thanks!

Bottom 2 are said to be Jackson.


Since he is not noted on the card, I dont think it makes much difference either way.

Thanks David & Matt. Don't forget that abravefan (Tim) discovered the photo that gave me 8 pages of material to write about.
