Horizontal t-206 images
Posted By: Brian
Random question, but I am looking to focus on a couple of new collections. Does anyone know how many horizontal t-206's there are? The horizontal Cracker Jacks are some of my favorites, and I would like to grab some horizontals from other sets. Figured I'd start with the t206's.

Definitely a strange card. The horizontal position actually is more feasible. In the verticle position the only type of catch that would be possible is an over the shoulder catch with the ball coming from behind Dunn.

giving a reference point to the fact they are horizontal. The solid green color gives no reference point. I've said it here before ... that card is an early version of the the Topps Willie Mays catch card from the late '50s.

there's no way the dunn is a horizontal...debate it all you want. all of the other horizontal poses are obvious...normal poses. the dunn would have to depict him flying through the air...horizontal in mid air...which is not realistic. just mho.

diving for balls is very common today,but remember we are talking about 100 years ago. the gloves used, the field conditions just were not conducive for diving head first for balls. now with the large webbing and manicured fields it is common. just like headfirst slides,common now not so 100 years ago.

Horizontal t-206 images
Posted By: Leslie Westbrook
I believe the photographer (or the player) chose to pose himself in that manner and the photo was taken vertically before it was artistically rendered for this card. However, I believe that pose was chosen so that it could be turned horizontally to look like a diving catch. That explains the green background--green was used to simulate the look of the grass field. If the "natural" background had been used in that pose, a horizon line would be visible behind the player with the card in the vertical position. Also, looking at the card horizontally, it appears to me that the player's shirt and pants sag down a bit as if he was rendered to appear to be diving. Again, just my 2 cents.

...Of the "B" on his jersey, it is folly to presume a horizontal image was not conceived; but i tend to agree it was a posed photo, arms in the sky and the green background keeps it beautifully ambiguous.

yes of course they dove for balls back then and went 100%, it happened. they turned the double play back then too, but not as often. thats all i'm saying. show me a picture of a player diving for a ball spread out like that from before 1910.then i'll say there is a chance it was a horizontal image.
