Thought he was black, card and photos do not support my thought. Was he mulatto?
BTW, I had this card as a kid and thought Isaac Curtis was white.

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:

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:

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.
Recall, if you will, the SI covers featuring Tyra Banks...
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.
