Blaine (Kid) Durbin

Does anyone have a baseball card for Kid Durbin. He played in 1907 & 1908 for the Cubs. Reds and Pirates in 1909.

I looked him up at VCP (vintagecardprices.com) and at BBRef (baseball-reference.com). It appears that there are no cards issued for him as a major leaguer but there is a 1912 Zeenut as an Oakland Oak player. Somebody here probably has one and can post it.

There's some team photo reprints on ebay with him.

That book cover ("The Best Team Ever") uses a composite of the 1906 Cubs (the NL "champions for 1907") on which they've pasted Durbin's image on top of another player's. They should have just used the actual composite for the 1907 Cubs, which includes Durbin:
