Depends on the player. Lajoie bat and Mathewson dark cap are much better than the portraits (Mathewson doesn't even look like him). On the other hand, Johnson portrait blows away the pitching (which also doesn't look like him), and I like the Young portrait far more than the other poses. Cobb I have a marginal preference for the portraits over the bat off. And so on.

Lajoie with Bat is my favorite T206 but I tend to like the portraits better.

Default Love them all.......
Nice cards !!!!

I kind of like the portraits a little better, but I love them all. Even the ones that don't fit in either catagory

IMO when a portrait displays perfect registration and clarity there really is no comparison to which is prettier.

i agree with peter on the matty dark cap. That card almost looks like a real photo of him.....

I just think there's more "bench depth" for the portraits--thinking of Lobert, and Wiltse, and Durham, and Kling and on and on and on....

Best of three worlds, if you're into variations:

My favorite pose. Powers looks like a general ready to lead the troops into battle.
