Default Gehrig, Yankees postcard help

I recently won this linen post card. The seller stated it is from the early 30's and the player swinging is Lou Gehrig. I looked around and found a few sources that identified it as such-i have links below. It also states on the back that "for nearly a decade" that ball park was used for spring training, which would mean it would have probably been printed in 1933 or 1934. My question is, is this piece period authentic from the 20's? I know there have been a wide array of fantasy pieces around so thats what worries me.
