The guy to the left looks like the image in the facepack for Nap Shea also a catcher. The same guy is also depicted in the St. Louis Encyclopedia (I understand wrongly) as Gerry Shea. The guy on the right looks the same player that is shown on the Obak card as a Seattle player, is his first name Gerry, I don't know. There is a web site that lists major league players who appeared on Obak cards, Gerry Shea is not listed (maybe the list isn't comprehensive).
