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.

I think the Dunn card is either horivertical or vertizontal.

Easiest way to clarify this debate
all six horizontal cards have a horizon line. Basically you see the edge of the earth from where they are. There is a background. There are a few vertical that show a horizon line (Shannon, Burke) but not many.

I also like Ed's point about the horizon line being evident on all the horizontals. Jim R. also posted the Bay card in the Jack dunn poll thread from a few years ago, which has a similar pose to the Shannon.

I Dunn No
An interesting little tidbit I found out about Dunn on the web that might pertain to this orientation discussion:
When he (Dunn) was nine, a boxcar ran over his left arm while playing at a local railway. He was told by doctors that his arm had to be either amputated or risk death. He declined an amputation, but his arm was left crippled from above the elbow and couldn't lift the arm above his neck. Does this make the fielding position on his T206 more vertical or horizontal? I have no idea, but maybe someone here has some ideas. Brian

To me, this would suggest it is a vertical orientation.
