Horizontal t206's

[freakhappy]

I can see how this could sway either way, but every time I look at it, I see a horizontal picture...just doesn't sit well with me from the upright position.

And to be honest, I'm not sure how anyone could be definitive on either pose...

I think of it and believe it is a a vertical pose until I see the card positioned horizontally.

Does anyone know of a picture used in the artwork?

Now there is a project for someone... Find the original photo used for the dunn
pose... Then it can be put to rest once and for all that this is a vertical card!!

If nothing else, go by the horizon factor in the known 6. If this card was meant to be a horizontal I believe they would have painted in a horizon! The set was put together w/ plenty of forethought.

Fred...I saw that post and it does make sense, but can/do we have to assume that is true? There are horizons in a lot of T206's, but there is no horizon on this card telling us that it is supposed to be horizontal or vertical. Either way, I do think the green background fits this card rather nicely...

Edited to add: I don't believe a horizon would compliment this card at all...I think the solid green background was done on purpose even if it is indeed a horizontal pose.

No indeed, we certainly do NOT have to assume that is true! It is just my belief that because the given 6 were so beautifully done w/ horizons to remove all doubt that any other cards MEANT to be horizontal would have had an equally complimentary horizon too!

The set is so beautiful & thoughtfully done that I don't believe the artists would have missed putting a horizon on Dunn! I'm done!

Or you could think of Dunn catching a fly ball, bending backwards a little. I mean, the position of the glove would probably not be correct, but maybe that was the way he caught fly balls?

Not if he were diving for a ball though. If he were diving for a ball, perhaps all you would see is green grass...just like the green background.
