Jim Tobin is a below the borderline HOF candidate at the best. But the player on the "Mel Ott" card is actually Bill Crouch, who had a real slender, non-HOF MLB career, and missed the 1942 through 1944 years in organized ball, probably because of WW2 military service(?).
The card is, however, the first 1941 Goudey print on top I remember seeing that has a different player on top, so it does have that going for it.
