Any Joe DiMaggio card based off this photo?

Hello, I managed to win this Joe D photo from the H&S auction last night and am wondering if this was ever the same picture used for a card. It looks very familiar. Thanks!

I don't really recognize it but I think there is an R set that might have a close pose. But that picture has kind of a sneer on his face. :)

The closest I could find, is Dimag's card from the Simpsons :D

Those bright one color backgrounds were very common for photographer Ozzie Sweet from Sport magazine. I am pretty sure this photo is his. I always thought his photos were some of the best to get signed at the signature just jumps from the background. Jason

Thanks guys, I have nearly no knowledge on cards but I think the look of T206s with bright red backgrounds made me think this was used as a photo for a card at some point. Thanks for the info on the photographer!

His real personality comes shining through.
