Yeah as I pointed out there, it's backwards unless he's Willie Mays chasing Vic Wertz's drive.

I made an image mockup with photoshop a couple years ago which proved it was vertical (or at least I thought so). I will see if I can dig it up later and post it.

If one were to make a basket catch, one wouldn't do so with the arms so high above the head, it seems to me. So I don't buy the "the gloves were different" thing. Also, the head is just perfectly positioned for a horizontal shot. Coincidence? Maybe. I think it probably is vertical given that all the horizontals seem to be in a different series, but I wouldn't say it's overwhelmingly clear from the picture and the vertical theory does raise some problems.

Thank you for posting this card CW. This card is all you need to see that the Dunn is NOT and odd pose for a vertical image.

its not terribly uncommon for the gloves depicted in old cards to not always be anatomically correct.
