Are you sure that your top picture is Nellie Fox ?

(1) The BB player in this picture resembles White Sox outfielder Dave Philley more so than Nellie Fox.

(2) Nellie Fox started with the Philadelphia A's in 1947, and traded to the White Sox for the 1950 season.
Fox was not depicted in the Bowman sets till 1951. He is depicted in a different pose than the one in your top picture.

(3) The Ned Garver picture is circa 1948-1949 and was the image used by Bowman to create his 1949 & 1950 Bowman cards.
