Any help in id'ing this W553 that I picked up from Lew Lipset's recently auction. Any idea who it is? Unfortunately, the magenta background makes it really hard to read the player's name. Supposedly, the W553 uses the same pictures as the 1929 Kashin, but I still couldn't figure out who this Philadelphia Athletic is. Maybe Mickey Cochrane? Thanks for any help!

I'm pretty sure that it's Mickey Cochrane.... Perhaps there is a similar pose on eBay.....
