Ditto....for Art M's and Scot R's comment regarding "Harry" Camnitz possibly depicted in the T206 set.

The 1st series pose (arms folded) I have seen in a Pittsburg Team photo which identified Camnitz as Howard.

Furthermore, Harry did not become a Major Leaguer till 1909 (after the T206 1st series cards were released).

The (hands above head) pose, in the 460 series, looks more like Howard; therefore, if it is true that one of 2
Camnitz cards in the 460 series is Harry....then it has to be the one with the Arms at Side pose.

A 1909 Pittsburgh Team (panoramic) photo shows Harry and you can differentiate them.
