Would it really have been that hard to put the correct Young on these cards?

I was always under the impression that that was Cy? I know the e97 pose is Irv?

Regardless I've never liked that pose of Cy...or Irv...or whomever it is!

Pete, here's a thread that discussed this a few years ago: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=124640

Here's a portion of the image reversed to match the E105/E92/etc.

T206 Speaker. It looks bland and cartoonish to me. I need one for my T206 collection but I've not purchased it just because I don't like the look of it.

I agree on the cartoonish Joe D but respectfully couldn't disagree more on the Shoeless and the Ruth. But as said in the top post, different strokes, etc.

Personally, I love the e90-1 Jackson; I think the pose, leaning on the bat, is very cool, very dapper. I also love the regal, purple background.

I also am a huge fan of the US Caramel Ruth; he looks like a rumpled, lovable bulldog and the crooked hat, to me, is a touch of style and flavor.

I always give the DeLong props because of its unique design and color, though it's a distant choice for me to other Gehrig issues.
