Theres a discussion in another thread about creating these images. Ill probably create a pack and place them there and leave this for actual photos. I haven't seen the bug you are talking about but I'm also using existing photos as a base.

Ah, it was a big deal with the creation of images in response to prompts back in early 2024 or so, and image creation was disabled because of protests until it could be fixed.

Working off of existing images is a different issue, though.

Cuban League 1878

I'm not sure where these are originally from but they're posted on ebay listed as Adolfo Nuno, Alfredo Lacazette, and Rafael Saavedra. Likely from a newspaper or a book from after the 1870s. They seem to be from some team photo or multiple team photos.

These seem legit based on the fact that a few of the non-Seamheads Cuban Leaguer photos they have on their page were confirmed and posted on here by tnfoto years ago so if we could get conformation on which name matches to which face for the ones here or the ones I will continue posting then that'd be good just due to the lack of concrete documentation of some of these guys.

Listed as Francisco Hernandez of the Habana team. Would also need conformation.
