Default 1906 White Sox team postcard

Hello,
I was going to begin a new thread on a postcard question, but I thought I'd begin here. I recently purchased a team postcard of the 1906 White Sox. It looked familiar (I thought it was the Burke PC), and I bought it on a whim (and probably too quickly).

After I bought it, I looked in the Big Book to learn more about it, but I can't find the exact card. I found another PC that has the same photograph, but it does not say 'White Sox-1906 -American League Champion' at the top. Also, the PC cardboard is thin and a little slick. Not, UV-coated crap slick, but slicker than other pre-war PCs I own.

So, I'm thinking this PC is not from 1906, but most likely from a later time period when PC postage was still 1 cent.

Any help identifying my PC would be most appreciated.

Here are scans:

Thank you!
