Mystery Solved!
After some back & forth EM's w/ the Seller, who, by the way, has a large selection of Burke/Brace cards & photos, he has sent me this message:
As usual, it turns out that if I had just looked a little harder, I could have found a definite answer. It's Randy Gumpert, not Flohr. I found a scan of the same postcard that I had previously which had his name written on the back
His EBay ID is thecatspajamas99 & was very upfront & helpful!
Gumpert pitched for the A's in 1936-37-38---Mort was there just in 1934 and never saw ML action again. Gumpert's other claim to fame is that he gave up Mickey Mantle's 1st HR in 1951!
I'm almost sorry now that it ISN'T cousin Mort, as I would have bid on a pose that I previously didn't know existed!
