I'm not. I believe the Mayo is specifiying Dad but depicting John. That photo is of John, period. John never played for St. Louis, so the card is not intended to specify John, it is meant to specify Dad, who did play there. Maybe they had no photo of Dad, maybe they just made a mistake and used the wrong one without checking.

Addie, the Just So card is extremely scarce, and it is entirely possible the Mayo folks were unaware of it or the underlying photo.

BTW, check out the 1928 Ice Cream cards of HOFer Bill Terry. They actually use a photo of Zeb Terry taken at least 11 years prior (actually, the Ice Cream sets use a whole bunch of old re-circulated photos, and show little originality).
