OK David - it is Garbark.
Graig is not the first artist I have encountered who is very good at this - especially those who do portraits. >> Next step was to thumb through the '90's Conlon Collection cards, all 1320 of them, and I found Garbark's mug. Yikes - I'll send you the checklist - just search on the name. Of course it only saves time if you keep your cards in numerical order. BTW - I don't have the Brace book. What range of years does it cover? Last edited by bmarlowe1; 03-24-2010 at 10:42 PM.

I remember meeting George Brace on many occasions when I worked at Wrigley Field in the early to mid 80's. A great guy who came to the ballpark to do what he had to do and was gone before the batting cage left the field. I just wish I knew what I know about him now back then. I knew he had been around a long time and had a chance to talk to him about some past greats but I just didnt realize his important on the history of the game until years later.
Sorry, I didnt mean to hijack this thread...MOve along now...nothing to see here!!

Impressive sleuthing!
I think it is more likely than not, but there does appear to be a difference in the squareness of the chin between the card and the photo...can that be explained away by the fact that he is similing in one and not the other?

He didn't play much that year or any other year as he was pretty much a non-entity at the plate:
