We did date it to his last start as a pitcher against the RedSox on 9/28/1930. But can’t find an issue or the photogs name. I’m thinking a newspaper photog. It does look similar to a Mendelsohn pose which several cards were made from. I think it’s the same stadium but there the similarity ends. The card pictured does have plenty of alligator aging on the cream colored back so I’m with you that it’s a Franken card. Does have an auto on back also that is a bit off in pencil…
