Posted By: <b>BillyB</b><p>I've looked at a few sites including <a href="http://lcweb2.loc.gov/pp/bbhtml/bbcardsSets1.html" target=_new>http://lcweb2.loc.gov/pp/bbhtml/bbcardsSets1.html</a><BR>and another one that had cards of the 1930's to 1950's.<BR>I had also been to the oldcardboard site. It has pages with lots of links but it doesn't answer my question unless I click on every sets link.<BR>Perhaps I missed an area of that site that presents things differently.<BR>Thanks

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>There a lot fo action shots in the 1971 Topps set, along with their Greatest Moments set issued that same year. There are some game shots in some of the card game sets from the tobacco era and the T3 multi-player cards could be considered action photos that are colorized.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>hankron</b><p>Billy, a few of the 1913 National Game cards have T202-like action shots. This includes an inexpensive one of Ty Cobb.<BR><BR><img src="http://www.cycleback.com/tom.JPG"><BR><BR>You might also wish to look into wire photos, news service photos and real photo postcards, which will provide tons of live action shots.<BR>

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>T3s, and all other tobacco cards are based on actual photos that have been turned into line drawings and colored. I have the full the photo used for Lajoie with building adn everything else in the background plus everything to the sides. It's actually a very nice picture.<BR><BR>Jay
