His head does seem to get a little bigger in both photos.
Wonder if going bald made his head look bigger as well as the steroids.

There are at least three known photos of Weaver with the 1939 Red Sox. The first two are from the Burke/Brace collection, courtesy of TheCatsPajamas99, and the third is from the Conlon Collection. The Conlon Collection image was colorized by Krantzbucks back in 2012.

Heres an example of how ai is helfpful.
The photo of Willam Johnson of 1871 Cleveland
shows him as an older man.
AI shows how he could have looked when he actually played.

I used to use the Conlon Collection all the time. First they did away with the Conlon site (I guess they sold it) then imagekind took away the pics. Still trying to find a good place for them.

I used Cap Anson since he had a long career to see how he would age and this is what i got.
The first photo is the one from baseball reference which i used as a base photo.

I wonder if chatgpt does a better job with a desktop pc or laptop.
On my phone and tablet it looks completely fictional and really close to the person it's creating.
Maybe the graphics card plays into it?
Idk. I'm just learning as I go and maybe it will help others who are interested.
