I have to agree with this because the dating is so wishy-washy and the set is so poorly tracked.
Berg was basically defaulted into a catcher role in September of 27’ due to injury and as a journeyman, his job was to fill. He was never designated as a true starter at catcher that season, just journeyman as Bill Hunnefield had taken his SS role leaving him without a position.
As the card lists his position as catcher and he did not officially debut as a starting catcher until 1928, I would assume the card would be the following year at the earliest because of release and print time. So at best it would have been same year as the Kashin. However, it could be a 1930 as well.
Without proof I would guess 1929 Kashin is a safer play as a rc.
