Looks off to me in terms of authentic period. I too am skeptical about the 1940 print date on the back.
Is there paper loss on the back--bottom? Strange that the card lists all regular season and World Series stats pretty completely through 1940, but includes all-star game info only for1936 and 1937--with no totals. Joe D played in the 1938-1940 AS games too.
