You may be right, as I never got Greg Gross in person but I still think the OP's 3x5 is "supposed" to be Greg Gross. In the 1980s any mail sent to the Phillies was usually either returned unsigned or "clubhouse" signed, especially the stars such as Rose, Carlton, Boone, etc.
Back in the day I was mostly American League oriented since I lived in Oakland. I have a 3x5 just like the OP's I got in a trade with an NL guy that was identified as Greg Gross.
Many collectors back then collected 3x5 cards TTM. That Gross probably came from the Phillies. I can't believe that Gross was overwhelmed with TTM requests but who knows, perhaps all the players mail was intercepted by the team management.
