Are you sure that it's Hornsby? Hornsby batted righty and that looks like a lefty.

The image is reversed...looks like a 1920-21 W516-2-1 with the border cut off.

yes, i believe you are correct. i know it is one of those series, and oldcardboard has a pic of series 1 and its not that. thanks for the info guys...
Is it a well-know/cataloged card/image? I don't see how one could determine that it was Hornsby. I also do not see where it says, "St. Louis".

"Similarly, Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby bats right (normally) in the first set, but becomes a left-handed batter in the W516-2-1 and W516-2-2 subsets."
