Gehrig, Yankees postcard help

[Lordstan]

I did not see it when you first posted it as I don't read the card side as much.
Looking at the postcard, the player looks skinny, but the pose is really familiar. That along with the brochure makes me feel pretty comfortable with a mid 30's dating, but until we find on mailed we won't know fir sure

Thanks! On the back of the postcard, it says they had been training in St. Petersburg for nearly a decade and since they started there in 1925, it actually matches up pretty well with that date. That said, I know a lot of issues were re-printed and other were printed for years after they were made (like Exhibits) so I agree, a postmarked card from around 34' would be pretty helpful.

I stand by my statement of 5 years ago. I don't know if it's Gehrig, but it's sold that way all the time.

It’s definitely Gehrig. I saved an image I found online that is a perfect match. I also had it dated as 1937.

I found this just now. It is dated 1937 Spring Training.

I'm glad I revisited this thread! Thanks everyone, that seems pretty definitive to me.
