Re: Jay Saldi
Well, there's always the infamous Garland Boyette card issued in the 1964 Philadelphia set. The picture wasn't even Boyette (who was black) but center Don Gillis (white). Links:

The first is the 1964 card, the second is a 1970s card for Boyette when he played for the Oilers.

Re: Jay Saldi
Saldi I was familiar with. It has happened to me with others.
Herb Travenio. Never knew he was black. Especially being a kicking specialist.

Saldi is an Italian surname.Bryan wrote:
Thought he was black, card and photos do not support my thought. Was he mulatto?
Jay was born in NY, as was his father.
His paternal grandparents were both born in Italy.
Not sure about his maternal side, but probably just a Mediterranean complexion.

Re: Jay Saldi
What gets me is that Issac Curtis actually signed this card that had his somebody else's picture on it. I remember back in the 80's getting Phil Garner to autograph a 1982 Fleer baseball card for me, and the card was an error, which was a reverse negative of him throwing the ball left-handed and he looked at me oddly and chuckled as he signed the card.Bryan wrote:

Re: Jay Saldi
Along these lines (black-white) check out Sherman Lollar's 1950 Bowman baseball card.

I think that actually is Issac Curtis. The mustache is kind of unmistakable.Rupert Patrick wrote:What gets me is that Issac Curtis actually signed this card that had his somebody else's picture on it...Bryan wrote:

The printing is at fault. It was (is?) not uncommon to print black people lighter to make them "friendlier" to the white population.
Recall, if you will, the SI covers featuring Tyra Banks...

On the opposite end of that spectrum is Time's infamous decision to darken O.J. Simpson's picture for their cover story on his capture in 1994.JuggernautJ wrote:The printing is at fault. It was (is?) not uncommon to print black people lighter to make them "friendlier" to the white population.

Re: Jay Saldi
I happen to be a trial junkie, going back to Manson. I followed the Simpson criminal trial coverage daily. Whatever you think of this Time cover, from first to last, the media coverage picked away constantly at the prosecution case. And as Jeffrey Toobin acknowledged in his New Yorker article after the verdict, Toobin and colleagues never pointed out (during the trial) the evidence of Simpson's guilt was "overwhelming."BD Sullivan wrote:On the opposite end of that spectrum is Time's infamous decision to darken O.J.

Re: Jay Saldi
That is Isaac Curtis he is a lighter skinned black man and Jay Saldi is white.
