I really like all four, and you couldn't go wrong with any of them. But there's just something about the bat off shoulder that grabs me.
When it comes time to add Mr. Cobb to my T206 collection for the first time, that will be the one. And I'm as big a portrait fan as there is. But I love the background on the bat off. Plus, there's something pensive, almost regal about Cobb's pose. Plus, he seems to be staring down an opposing pitcher, as if to say "hey, bud, I'm the Georgia Peach. I'm a career .367 hitter. You've got nothing for me, so you might as well toss that triple right over the plate, and get it over with."

How now bat on cocked brow?
In the survey I chose the bat off version, because I really like the colors and composition of the card, but I have always really appreciated the bat on as well. I think this is partially because of the cocked eyebrow...it looks like he is challenging the viewer to a fight.

The 'bat off' is the best if the color and registration are right. If things aren't lined up properly, the card can get ugly. The 'bat on' is more forgiving.
The red portrait usually looks better than the green in my opinion but sometimes a green can sparkle if it was printed correctly.

Picked this up a few weeks ago in a lot of 5 different HOF T's and 3 N28's. I have a tough time not looking at the bat off card it is such a beautiful art piece. Perfect, IMO. And the look of determination for me... LOVE IT. The portraits don't stand a chance with me I just thought Id buy one bat off and one portrait when I started.... The stories & observations you folks share about the bat on make it more appealing and the just got bumped ahead of a portrait next. Thanks. man I love the colors of the T206 set.
