Default Card ID Help - Lou Gehrig

Over the weekend I was visiting a dealer friend of mine who had just bought a modest vintage collection. Two really scrambled boxes that came to him via an elderly man who said he had them for quite some time. The boxes mainly consisted of P/G 50's cards...smattering of 60's with 65 being the newest...some Leaf/Bowman cards 49-52...no stars, but some were in EX condition surprisingly. But again...super hodge podge everything 49-65.

I was helping him sort and this Lou Gehrig card was mixed in with some early 50s Bowman. The randomness fit...but the card...didn't fit. Both him nor I have really any working knowledge of pre-war...assuming it even is? Considering the source, it would seem weird for a reprint or a fantasy piece, but nothing surprises me. But...it also doesn't really fit the theme of the sellers boxes. I took a front and back and said I would post here...any idea what this is?






Sorry for the phone pic quality. All the cards were raw, unsorted, and nothing was in any protective card holders at all. I grabbed a random top loader and threw it in. He is expecting a verdict of fantasy card...but as said...weird place to find it.
