I bought it now what is it? Rogers Hornsby
 

As a type collector I buy all kinds of things. Sometimes I hit, sometimes I miss. The dollar amount of risk weighs into what I do. For a $20 item I am not going to fall out of my chair if it is not what I think it is. For a $2000 item I will fall out of my chair if the item is bad. Fortunately, I don't risk that much too often. So anywho, I tried looking this up but just can't seem to identify it anymore than what the ebayer said. I checked the 1931 Cubs Picture Pack as it looked very close but it's a different pose. Any ideas? I think it might just be a 1930s Premium :) ....in quite poor condition (which is ok by me).

30's premium or photo is about as omnibus as my answer would be so
I'll second it.
always fun to get a Hornsby methinks.
all the best, buddy

I'm no help with an ID for it but nice pick up for $20 for a Hornsby.

I haven't seen this Hornsby before, but it certainly reminds me of the team issued photo sets which I'd personally seen back in the '60's--wouldn't be much of a leap of faith to think the same thing was being used in the 30's!

Best of luck, Leon, in finding the answer!

Its a 1932 Cubs team issue

thanks
 

Thanks Mark. What threw me off on this one is that most of the pictures in that pack have that little lightning bolt/wavy design around the players feet areas. This one, since it's a portrait from the set, doesn't. I think all things considered I might have paid $5 too much. Much appreciated on the id.
