Vintage pic used on the most cards

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>I've noticed that there are several player's pics that have been used on several different cards. Many of these cards span a period of about twenty years or so. I thought it would be fun to see who has the most different cards using the same pic or design.<br />

Posted By: <b>J Levine</b><p>The Ruth may be correct, that pose is used constantly in a variety of issues.<br /><br />Horner photos were used over and over again as well...<br /><br />Joshua

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Here is a honorable mention:<br /><br /> Ross Youngs jumping in the air. The picture is shown in the V61s, the E120 and E121 sets. I know these sets shared a lot of pictures, but someone must have liked the picture because a variant of it also shows up in the E220 in which Youngs throwing arm is bent as he jumps in the air. It raises another question:<br /><br /> Which picture was taken first?

Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>I like the OJs sequential photos including several showing the process of simulated pitching or hitting.<br /><br />Did they do these sequences for fielding, I wonder. Now progressively sliding into a pretend base could be funny.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Gehrig's batting pose has the Ruth beat. It's on a 1927 Exhibits, W553, W554, R316 Kashin, R316 5x7 photo, Goudey 92 & 160, & 1933 WWG. The same pose of Ruth & Gehrig are also on an uncataloged W554 "no text" variation. That's 9 different Gehrig cards with the same pic. Are there any others? As far as a span of time, Cobb's pose with bat on the 1907-09 Novelty Cutlery, & 1922 e121 is a good one.
