Has anyone seen other examples of this photo that may have been given to players by the Yankees?
It is a 33 Yankees team photo that purportedly belonged to Pete Appleton (aka Pete Jablonowski). The photo measures 4 7/8" x 2 1/4" and says "Yankees Team - 33 Thorne Photo" on the bottom right. I was told that the team gave two such pictures to every player. The larger version of the team photo can be seen here:

Interestingly, the photos are not identical (Gehrig is looking at the camera in the small version but not in the large one, the guy in the front row is holding his hat up in the small, not in the large, the trees on the left are from a slightly different angle, etc.).
The back has scrapbook residue - the thin yellow lines that are so common.
Thanks in advance.
