Default Interesting "Larry Pratt" T206 stamped back

I'm not a stamped back collector, but I thought a stamped back in last night's SCP auction was pretty interesting:

The hands-at-chest T206 is stamped "Larry Pratt" on the back. I wonder if there's any chance that it's Larry Pratt, the ballplayer:

As a side note, this wasn't my lot, nor was I bidding on it. I thought, though, that some of the stamp collectors here would have enjoyed seeing it before the end of the auction since it was just a part of a larger lot. I tried to contact a couple via PM so as not to "out" the auction. Doubt anybody would get upset about talking about a low-grade lot in a major auction, but I still didn't want to ruffle any feathers just in case.

Have a good one,
Steve
