I previously had the Shea image listed in my collection as "likely" Gerry Shea based on the year of issue of the tobacco card that the image came from (1909-11 Obak T212) and the fact that the image showed the player wearing a catcher's mitt--I don't have solid ID evidence, but assumed that two catching Sheas from the same time period was unlikely. I then "verified" my ID when I saw the same image included in the photo pack as Gerry Shea.
Could anyone here provide a definitive ID for the T212 Seattle Shea? If not, he should go back on the missing list.
Thanks...
