RPPC player ID help
I picked up a couple real photo postcards with this guy, but no ID. The other postcard has him warming up, pitching. Looks like a real Philadelphia Athletic, but my searching can't turn up anyone that resembles him. (So maybe he's not a pro, but the picture feels pro.) The photo looks like it's from the 1940s but it could be later -- pre-1955, one assumes.
Thanks! This is my first thread post, go easy. David

David, what is on the reverse? Looks like a Burke/Brace photo...Is it a Kodak postcard?

Indeed, it is a Kodak postcard -- which has confused me. The paper shows some age, so I'm guessing 1950s, but the image itself looks pre-1950. (For the non-RPPC followers, this type of Kodak photo postcard paper began production in 1950.)
But otherwise there are no markings on the back. >>David, what is on the reverse? Looks like a Burke/Brace photo...Is it a Kodak postcard?

It's a Burke/Brace photo probably sold by Jim Rowe in the 1960-70s. Usually he wrote the name of the player on the back. Burke and Brace took photos of EVERYONE back in the days, even if the guy never made it to the majors...they went to Spring Training and took photos. I even had some Burke photos of a guy named J. Peterman (no, not that one) who was a big fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers and suited up with them every Spring Training to shag flys and hang out in uniform with the team.

Lefty pitcher for the Philadelphia A's ca. 1935-40
If you google images from the Lefty pitchers on those rosters you have a good chance to find him. I have super slow internet so cant right now. Usually those Kodak RP Postcards will have the name written in pencil (sometimes pen) on edge of back in a block style lettering. Like Dan said, they are not vintage to the time of the photos, more from the 1970's (Rowe era)

My inclination is that it is George Walberg.
