Hey Upper Deck, this photo is NOT Cap Anson.
You did it in 2001:
and now you've done it again in 2014:
Book Publisher McFarland & Co. did it on the first run of a Cap Anson biography by David Fleitz:
although Fleitz made them change it on the second printing and paperback versions:
The photo you are using is of one of Cap's teammates, White Stockings 2nd Baseman Fred Pfeffer.
So it kinda looks like Cap, but the eyes are definitely not his. Notice the eyes and ears match to this Goodwin card (although he had changed his moustache style). The straight and angular nose is also a match to Pfeffer, not Anson.
Call the HOF, UD photo editor, they'll confirm. And stop making Anson cards that are really Pfeffer!
