It's a shot from a similar angle, but the guy on the postcard is clearly a lefty!

It took me a while on this one but I think I might have a match. How does it look? For better clarity on the picture, here is a link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lou-Gehrig-N...item20d654f597

At first, I saw a resemblance to Gehrig, especially the head, but wasn't certain it was Gehrig. With the last photo posted, I do believe it is Gehrig.

I do also- the positioning of the fence is what really made me realize I finally got it. Thanks for your help, I always liked the colors of this piece so im very happy I can finally add it to my Gehrig collection.

Hello! I've been getting into baseball postcards more lately and stumbled on this again (5 years later) in my collection while going through other postcards and wanted to ask before discarding it..

It looks to be a postcard of Lou Gehrig (bottom picture) and wanted to know - what characteristics of the it established this as a 1940's (junk?) postcard rather than a possible 'playing days' issue. I'm not too great with postcard stock or color so I think it probably relates to that but wanted to know more precisely how to age it.

Thanks again! -Frank

...or it could just be Joe Jackson again..

I like the postcards and both look original to me (from the pics on the screen). I am not sure what the question is though? .

.Ok, I think I see the question now. I would need to date the stamp mark but I think it could be early-mid 1930s based on the timing of the Yankees practicing there.
