Keep in mind it comes from the buchner gold coin cards that were essentially just copy and pastes of the same few faces with the occasional addition/removal of a mustache. We also have 'depictions' of Alamazoo Jennings and Frank Bell which are kinda the same as what I'd call this one and they're both listed as missing players.

I've gone 'round and 'round with myself about Crowley over the years. I've kept him off the list because, while the Buchner cards are *generally* generic, their depictions actually bear a passing resemblance to the players listed on the card. Dan Brouthers looks passably like Dan Brouthers, Ned (or Ed, if you prefer) Willamson bears some resemblance to the player. The cartoon of Jennings, on the other hand, I don't believe bears any resemblance to the actual person (of course, we don't have a photo or studio wood cut, so that's just a guess).

Perhaps I should add some nuance to the list and re-add players like Crowley with a "need better" notation. There are a few others who similarly have no image I would consider a true likeness, either due to poor image quality (Alonzo Breitenstein or Walter Prince), low resolution (George Fletcher or Flip Lafferty), or poor likeness (until recently, Marty Honan--thanks, Cinemaodyssey!). Then there are others, like Denny Clare or Ed Halbriter, for whom we only have photos from a time long past their playing days.

I'm happy to make whatever adjustments may be most helpful as we try to locate the remaining missing players.
