Patrick--

Thanks for showing the Woolums OM cabinet. And, JC, good to see you posting.

I think there is a practical reason for Woolums being presented in vertical instead of horizontal orientation--the frame around T210s often did not allow for full images. A simple example is Simmons (see below). In his T209 card, the ball is about a foot in front of his glove. In his T210 card, the ball has been moved next to his glove. Why the move? The ball would have been out of the frame if the original shot had been retained. Old Mill made these changes frequently and they were done to accommodate the size of the area in which an image was presented. It's another reason I like T209s so much--bigger images, especially of players in stadium poses (my faves), and b/w photographs. That being said, I also love T210s.

Cheers, Mike
