One of these cards from my Dots Miller collection has to be the winner unless I'm forgetting something

It's hilarious how the company must've thought, "Man, everyone uses the same darn picture of him holding the bat. Wait, I got it!! Have the art department leave his hands where they are, but airbrush out the bat and throw a mitt on his hand, so he looks like he's in the field. Oh, make him holding a ball, too. Problem solved!! It's just like having a different picture. Now, let's drink some scotch!!"

As far as I can tell there is only one of these graded by SGC and none by PSA. T215 Red Cross Purtell, Jersey City. And these other little "cards" don't show up too often so I assume they are pretty scarce as well.

Don't believe that was added. The shadows on the uniform front are completely different as well. Doubt they'd go to that trouble to airbrush in a glove and remove a bat, and then worry abount the shadows on the front. Those are two different images that oddly look a bit similar.

A lot of 1 of 1's, but either post-war or non-baseball.
This card was undiscovered and unknown for 106 years. There are now 4 known proper copies of it. This uncompleted panel from a proof sheet represents 2/3 of the total population. |

The artists obviously worked it a bit differently with shadows and such, but they unquestionably started with the same photo!! The most obvious thing is the 'plant eating dinosaur' on his belly... dotscomp.jpg ...but also the distinct shadow lines and that white area at his collar (and the collars themselves). Plus, look at his hand on the bat. The mitt looks exactly the same. They just traced around his fingers to make a mitt. And follow the shape of his left arm from shoulder to elbow. The artist took a tiny bit of liberty, but they are identical shapes. Look at how exact of a match it is where his right sleeve ends at his wrist. Look at the shape of his right hand. The right side and thumb are a match, and check out the size of his index finger. Holding the bat it's normal looking, but when the artist created the baseball imagery, he made it huuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

Haha, yes the plant eating dinosaur/prehistoric kangaroo on his belly is really the dead giveaway/linking fingerprint that both cards are based off the same image. Good detective work!

So jealous of the Venezuelan tattoo. It’s bizarre to me that we have yet to see another example from the set in the last ten years or whatever it’s been since you picked this one up. Did you by any chance ask the seller for any backstory they might have on it when you got it?

The Huggins is a Pop Report of 6 between SGC/PSA.
The Phillippi from what I can find is a Pop1 w/ SGC. I'm not exactly sure how rare this one is, but it's one of my favorite cards in my collection. Wonderful cards being shown in this topic. Love it! Bill

In keeping with Kenny's amazing Cuban collection, this is a recent pick up, you don't see these pop up too often.
